Emerging Trends Driving Innovation in the Ink Resin Market
There is a strong industry focus on developing cutting-edge resin formulations to meet evolving customer needs. In particular, UV-curable resin technologies are gaining traction due to their ability to improve print quality, durability, and compliance with regulatory standards-especially important for high-speed digital can decorating applications. UV-curable resins cure rapidly when exposed to ultraviolet light, producing vivid colors and long-lasting prints while supporting environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes.

For example, in July 2025, INX International Ink Co., a US company specializing in metal decorating inks, launched its INXJet MDLM UV curable inkjet ink designed specifically for beverage cans. This product emphasizes exceptional print clarity and enhanced durability, responding to the growing demand for sustainable, high-quality packaging inks within the beverage sector.
