BASF SE has 11 divisions that are aggregated into six segments: Chemicals, Materials, Industrial Solutions, Surface Technologies, Nutrition & Care, and Agricultural Solutions, based on its business models. Ink resins are offered under the Industrial Solutions segment. In April 2021, Azelis made public its new distribution agreement with BASF, effective immediately, for the dispersions, additives, and resins ranges in Australia & New Zealand (ANZ). The products subject to the agreement are commonly used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE), and construction applications.
The Dow Chemical Company is headquartered in Michigan, US, and operates 106 manufacturing sites in 31 countries globally with approximately 35,700 employees working in three main segments: Packaging and Specialty Plastics, Industrial Intermediates and Infrastructure, and Performance Materials and Coatings. Ink resins are offered under the Performance Materials and Coatings segment. The company’s manufacturing, processing, marketing, and R&D facilities, as well as regional purchasing offices and distribution centers, are spread across the world.
The modified rosin resin type to be the largest of ink resins market.
Resin is expected to be the largest ink resin type segment. The modified rosin is a natural resin obtained from pine trees and is regarded as an inexpensive resin. Its price has risen slightly over the last decade; however, there has been little decline in its use. It is ecologically sound to produce rosin from living sources, as opposed to fossil sources and tree stumps, making gum rosin a regenerative starting material for printing ink resins. Rosin has been used in alcohol-based lacquers, in combination with mineral oils for applications such as comic publication and newspaper inks.

The UV-curable-based technology to witness the fastest growth of ink resins market.
The use of UV-curable inks in the US in the packaging market continues to increase, especially with the introduction of low migration inks that support current global and regional regulations. Key advantages of UV-cured inks are solvent-free inks resulting in lower insurance, high level of product resistance, ease of usage, and flexibility to accommodate various sizes and variety of print jobs. Solvent-based inks continue to be the largest technology segment. The main resin used is low viscosity nitrocellulose (NC), which is featured in more than 70% of all solvent-based liquid inks. Liquid media, based on NC, disperse pigment reasonably well, have a good balance between viscosity and solids content, have low odor, print well, and are compatible with a large number of media based on other polymers.
The gravure printing process to be largest of ink resins market.
Gravure and flexographic printing processes continue to replace lithographic inks in several applications with the growing packaging segment. The digital printing process is rapidly gaining market share owing to the shift from ink media to electronic media in the publication sector. Other printing processes such as letterpress have become obsolete and are losing market share to the flexographic and gravure processes.
The printing & publication to be the largest application of ink resins market.
There is a high potential for demand growth of ink resins from the flexible packaging and corrugated cardboard & cartons segments during 2021-2026 due to improved living standard in developing countries and increased demand for food security.
The demand for resins from the printing & publication segment is declining due to the shift toward the digital media and the Internet in addition to the decline in demand from the newspaper and magazine industry.
