According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Water-Based Inks Market is accounted for $11.36 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $18.11 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. Rise in demand for printing inks, growth in flexible packaging and increasing environmental and safety concerns are driving the market growth. However, slow drying and printing speed are hampering the growth of the market.

Water-based inks include pigments or dyes in a colloidal suspension with water as the solvent. While water is the primary solvent used in the production of water-based inks, the inks contain other co-solvents to reduce the time and heat required to cure the ink film on cloth.

Based on the application, the flexible packaging segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period owing to the increase in demand for water-based inks in the corrugated packaging especially in the food & beverages industry. Moreover, strong appeal for light-weight packaging is expected to boost the market growth.

By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have high growth during the forecast period which can be attributed to the growing disposable incomes of consumers in most countries in the region. Furthermore, distribution of consumer goods is a major factor which boosts the market growth in the region.
