Global Low Migration Inks MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Low Migration Inks Market is Segmented on the basis of  Process, Application, Product Type And Geography.

Low Migration Inks Market, By Process

• Gravure
• Flexography
• Off-Set
• Digital

Based on Process, the market is divided into Gravure, Flexography, Off-Set, and Digital. Flexography is currently expected to be the leading process type in the low migration inks industry. Flexography is perfect for high-volume printing on a variety of packaging materials because it strikes a compromise between cost and speed. These supplies include paper and plastic containers, tape, cardboard boxes, and foil. This efficiency enables organizations to produce huge amounts of packaging using low migration inks at a competitive price. While other techniques may be appropriate for specific applications, flexography is the market leader in low migration inks due to its versatility and low cost.

Low Migration Inks Market, By Application

• Food & Beverages
• Pharmaceuticals
• Cosmetics
• Tobacco
• Homecare
• Chemicals

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Tobacco, Homecare and Chemicals. While Low Migration Inks are utilized in a variety of industries, they are most commonly found in food and beverage, medicines, and cosmetics. This is due to stronger rules and heightened safety concerns in these industries. Contamination from packing inks can have a substantial influence on product quality and safety.
