Stringent Regulations, High Cost of Raw Materials to Hamper South Africa Printing Inks Market
The implementation of stringent regulations over the usage of volatile organic compounds is likely to hamper the printing inks market in South Africa. The emission of volatile organic compounds poses a threat to the environment. Flexographic and gravure printing inks are primarily used with solvents as base materials. These printing methods are widely employed in flexible packaging, especially in food and beverage applications. Solvent-based inks consist of inorganic solvents and toxic metals such as cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, and mercury. These lead to various health hazards when they come into direct contact with edibles. The number of safety regulations in South Africa has increased in order to avoid adverse health consequences from the intake of toxic substances. This is likely to hamper the printing inks market in South Africa.
The trend of eCommerce and e-literature/tickets/coupons is rising at a significant rate across the globe. This is impacting the market in South Africa as well, thereby creating a negative impact on the conventional publication & commercial printing industry. Thus, substantial decrease in paper-based communication channels is estimated to hinder the printing inks market in the country. The growth in trend of eCommerce (including e-books, event tickets, sporting goods, toys, hotels, and airline reservations) is projected to adversely affect the printing inks market, thereby acting as a restraint for the printing inks market in South Africa.
