Competition in the ink connecting material market is fierce, and environmentally friendly products have become the future trend

Ink binder, also known as ink additives, is an important component of printing ink and the fluid part of the ink. The rheology, viscosity, drying, film-forming and printing performance of printing ink mainly depend on the connecting material. According to the drying type, the ink binder can be divided into volatile drying type, penetration drying type and oxidative conjunctival drying type. According to different media materials, ink connecting materials can be divided into oil type, resin type and solvent type.

In recent years, the development of the printing industry has driven the development of the ink connector industry. The technology of the ink connector industry has continued to advance, the production process has been improved, and the market demand for ink connectors has continued to increase. According to the “2022-2026 Ink Connector Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in 2021 The annual demand for ink connecting materials in China reaches about 250,000 tons.

At present, the technical level of my country’s ink connector industry still lags behind that of developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan. Products are mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields and are relatively poor in quality and performance. The domestic high-end ink connecting material market is mainly occupied by imported products and products of domestic foreign-funded enterprises. The number of enterprises is relatively small, and the market competition is relatively relaxed.

                                                                                     but the ink connecting material industry in my country has gathered many small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in the low-end product field. The overall strength of the enterprise is relatively weak and the market share of the products is relatively small. Moreover, the demand in the mid-to-low-end market segment of my country’s ink connector industry has gradually become saturated. In addition, due to the low technical level, the products of most small and medium-sized enterprises are homogeneous.

The production of ink connectors is mainly concentrated in cities such as Tianjin, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. The main reason is that these cities are the main ink production areas in my country, which has driven the development of the local ink connector industry. At present, the major domestic large-scale enterprises include Tianjin Tianning Resin Co., Ltd., Shaoguan Derui Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that with the continuous deterioration of the environment, people are becoming more and more aware of environmental protection, and the state has stricter regulations on environmental protection of related enterprises. The requirements are gradually becoming stricter. In the future, environmentally friendly ink connector products will be more trusted by consumers, and environmental protection will be one of the main trends in the future development of the ink connector industry.
