Global Ceramic Inks Market Outlook to 2026

Ceramic inks, a simple carrier of ceramic fine-sized metal oxide pigments, can be based on water or oil. Ceramic inks dry quickly, slowly, or may not even need to dry before firing. They can be of different consistencies. The inks require a melt carrier for application and must be compatible with both the melt carrier and the overlying glaze. Being less dense than most glazes, ceramic inks can be very challenging to manufacture and are customized for various applications differently.

According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global ceramic inks market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Rising demand for decorative glass and tile is expected to be the major driver for the growth of the ceramic inks market. Though ceramic tiles are popularly used globally, the growing population in developing nations, especially in countries such as India and China, calls for a rise in construction activities, indirectly influencing the ceramic inks market. Asia- Pacific is the dominating region for the same reason.

Developments in digital printing methods are also expected to be among the major growth drivers for this market. Increasing demand from other application segments like food container printing is also expected to influence the market positively. Ceramic inks are also sorted after in the automotive industry, apart from the construction and food & beverage industries. However, high costs associated with a technological shift from analog to digital, high setup and design costs, fluctuating raw material prices, along with limited current usage and difficulty of expansion are all expected to serve as restraints for the global ceramic inks market.

The global ceramic inks market is fragmented. The major players in the global ceramic inks market are Ferro Corporation, FRITTA, Colorobbia Italia, Esmalglass- Itaca Grupo, and Kao Chimigraf, among others.
