Screen Printing Inks Market Outlook:
Screen Printing Inks Market size was over USD 4.61 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 6.26 billion by 2035, growing at around 3.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of screen printing inks is evaluated at USD 4.74 billion.
The screen printing inks market is expanding due to escalating demand from the textile, packaging, and electronics industries. Screen printing is still a popular option among manufacturers as it is versatile, durable, and can be used on many types of surfaces, such as fabric, glass, plastic, and metal. Manufacturers are concentrating on durable products that also reproduce color vibrantly and reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. As regulatory demands become more stringent and customer preferences change, industry players are anticipated to focus more resources on research and development.
The sustainable transition of the printing industry and market growth is further supported by government initiatives, primarily through regulations that limit VOC use. In May 2024, Mimaki introduced paper-based carton ink cartridges, replacing traditional plastic-based cartridges in order to be more sustainable without compromising print quality. Moreover, regulations that seek to decrease waste and emissions in industrial printing are motivating manufacturers to invest in biodegradable and water-based inks.
