Global Demand Strengthens as Food Safety and Sustainability Take Center Stage
The Low Migration Inks Market is witnessing robust global adoption as industries prioritize clean-label packaging and regulatory compliance. The shift is primarily driven by stringent European and North American food safety directives and growing public concerns around the contamination of consumable goods.
Manufacturers-both longstanding and new entrants-are rapidly scaling operations and investing in next-generation ink chemistry. This includes developments in reduced solvent content, odor-neutral formulations, and superior substrate adhesion, enabling brands to maintain printing performance while meeting strict migration limits.
Segmental Outlook Points to Strong Leadership in Pigments and UV Curable Inks
Pigments Continue to Lead the Market
With a 47.6% share in 2025, pigment-based low migration inks remain the preferred choice for sensitive applications. Their superior color stability, light resistance, and durability make them ideal for packaging requiring long shelf life. This segment's dominance will continue as brands push for high-impact visuals without compromising safety.
UV Curable Inks Gain Strong Traction
Expected to hold 42.9% market share in 2025, UV curable inks are emerging as a powerhouse product category. Their instant curing, VOCs-free composition, and compatibility with plastic, metal, and paper substrates have made them highly sought after by food and pharmaceutical packaging firms. This segment is forecast to expand nearly 1.9x by 2035, reflecting strong long-term adoption.
Flexography Remains the Top Printing Process
Flexographic printing, with a projected 51.3% share in 2025, remains the most widely used process for low migration inks. Continuous improvements in flexographic press engineering and water-based ink systems are enhancing its efficiency and compliance advantages, especially in food packaging applications.
