Printing industry is equally varied with a confined number of very large groups and many small
printers. Irrespective of the size, there are different methods of printing namely lithography,
letterpress, flexography, gravure, and screen process. The methods are bound to be economically
viable and as a result the importance of aforementioned process is increasing. Printing inks are widely
differentiated by the printing process on the basis of their use. Letter graphs and lithographic inks are
highly viscous than the flexographic and gravure inks which are referred as liquid inks. Printing inks
are combination of three ingredients, pigments, vehicles and additives. Pigments demonstrate ink
color inclusive of hue and strength. Also the physical properties such as rheology, opacity, fastness
and bleed resistance are determined too. Additives may comprise a large number of ingredients
needed to deploy certain characteristics to ink such as driers, waxes, plasticizers, lubricants, curing
and rheological agents.

From the commercial point of view, exposures in the printing industry are regulated on a component-
specific basis for some solvents & ink constituents and also using non-specific measurements such as
measurement of aerosols and total hydrocarbons. Occupational exposure limits are maintained for
many individual substances found in printing ink manufacture & in printing processes; for instance,
alcohols, esters, glycol ethers, ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons, acrylates, aromatic hydrocarbons,
carbon black and organic dyes. Therefore, the formulation for a specific application depends on the
type of substrate, implemented process, and end use. Thus, the ink additives market is anticipated to
grow at a moderate rate CAGR during the forecast period. The key driving factors responsible for the
growth of global ink additives market includes rising trend of ink additives to develop eco-friendly
products such as non-VOC additives, high-sensitives UV, water-based additives with need for
providing high value, green additives that offer improved performance and minimum impact on
environment. However, the rising pressure on manufacturers to adhere to regulatory restrictions,
guidelines and lower usage at cheaper costs is likely to impede the market growth during the forecast
period.
On the basis of type, the global Ink Additives Market is segmented into rheology modifiers, slip/rub
modifiers, dispersants, defoamers, and others. Slip/rub materials dominate the global ink additive
