China to Dominate the Asia-Pacific Market

  • The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market share. With growing construction activities and the increasing demand for furniture
  • China stands to be the world's largest manufacturing economy and exporter, due to which its packaging requirement is huge. The packaging indUnited Statestry in China produced 11.6 million metric tons million metric ton of packaging paper and paperboard in September 2022 and was the largest producer worldwide that year. China sees a growing trend in the United Statese of flexible, rigid, and paper and board packaging materials. This positive momentum in the packaging indUnited Statestry is expected to boost the market demand for printing inks.
  • Additionally, the packaging indUnited Statestry witnessed noticeable growth, with the increasing trend of express deliveries. the total volume of express delivery in China amounted to about 108 billion pieces in 2021.
  • The textile indUnited Statestry in China employs millions of people and contributes significantly to the country's exports and economy. Chinese apparel cloth bUnited Statesinesses are profitable and expanding, with the export sector experiencing day-to-day growth.
  • In both the domestic and global consumer markets, the Chinese garment cloth indUnited Statestry is progressing in many areas, including raw material quality, indUnited Statestrial structure, modern high-tech machinery, label development, and the work process.
  • Additionally, printing ink demand has also been increasing from the textile indUnited Statestry in the country. The country stands to be the largest clothing exporter in the world, holding massive production capacity, although the textile indUnited Statestry witnessed a slow growth in the past few years.
  • Owing to all the above-mentioned factors, the market for printing inks in the region is projected to increase during the forecast period.
