Chemicals are various compounds or substances produced by various reactions involving
changes in atomic or molecular structure. Globally, chemicals are the building blocks in various
industries such as pharmaceutical, transportation, food and beverages and various other
industries. Chemicals use is increasingly recognized in various areas such as consumer good,
agriculture, medicine, and developing new technologies. Inkjets paper and films also use
various chemicals in their manufacturing process.
Inkjet papers are specifically designed for inkjet printers which are majorly identified by their
opacity, smoothness, brightness, and weight. Good quality chemical pulp or deinked pulp and
have exceptional dimensional stability that are used in the making of the paper. They possess
extensive surface strength and good surface smoothness. Inkjets papers are classified into
matte, satin, semi-gloss, semi-matte, and glossy finish and the thickness of the papers varies
accordingly. Polyvinyl alcohol and silica glossy are used in the manufacture of few inkjet papers
and printing can be done on both sides or on the single side. Photo paper is another kind of
inkjet paper used for printing photographs. Photo paper is coated with high absorbent
materials which prevents ink diffusion and is tremendously bright.
According to the study “Global Inkjet Papers and Films Industry Situation and Prospects
Research report”, the growth in the global printing industry has indirectly encouraged the
inkjet papers and films market. There is an increasing demand for labels from the packaging
industry which is fuelling the growth in inkjet paper and films industry. Pharmaceutical and
food packaging industries use labels that are manufactured by employing inkjet papers to
provide information on the composition of salts and nutrient content in drugs and food
products. There is a substantially high demand for packaging and labelling in all the developing
countries. This trend will boost the demand for inkjet papers and films over the next few years.
There is a huge demand for photographic printing and offset litho printing which is expected to
boost the growth of the global inkjet papers and films market. With the increase in prices of
raw materials, it is likely to obstruct the growth of inkjet papers and films market.
Geographically, the global inkjet papers and films market is spread across Europe, North
America, Asia Pacific (China, Southeast Asia, Japan and India), and Rest of the World. Asia
Pacific will witness a rapid growth in the inkjet paper and films industry due to industrialization
and growing economies. There is also a growing demand for packaging and printing in countries
such as Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, India, and China. There is an increase in consumers’
disposable income and availability of inexpensive raw materials in the Asia-Pacific region. The
leading players in inkjet paper and films industry are Kodak, Ricoh, Konika Minolta, Epson,
Hewlett Packard, OJI, Fujifilm, Canon, MPM, Canson, Staples, Konica, Fantac, Sun Paper,
