The global bio-based inks and coatings market in 2021 is estimated to be worth $5.86 billion; it is due to reach $8.57 billion by 2026. Innovation is expected to occur in all areas of inks and coatings raw materials including solvents, pigments, additives, and resins.
A bio-based material is made from substances derived from living organisms. The bio (carbon) content is based on the amount of biogenic carbon present. It excludes fossil fuel derived petrochemicals.
Our exclusive content
The report addresses the consumption of bio-based inks and coatings, with forecasts by metric tonnes and by value. It discusses a potential Covid-19 scenario that takes into account the impact on bio-based ink and coating growth should there be a worse global economic recovery than currently expected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Print-related inks and coating demand are largely impacted by factors including GDP and growing global population. Value is influenced by raw material pricing. Later sections of the report further segment the data by region, end use, print process, technology type and product type.

What will you discover?
- The bio-based inks and coatings market is expected to grow to a value of $8.5 billion in 2026 driven by sustainability and regulatory requirements
- Offset litho inks have the most penetration today predominantly in the publishing and graphics markets
- Traditional litho markets such as publishing continue to decline as electronic communications replace print. The loss here will be offset by growth in packaging as well as ink and coating reformulations in order to increase the amount of bio-based content
- Asia Pacific will lead the way particularly in China as the industry focuses on water-based and bio-based technology developments to meet increased regulatory restrictions on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon emissions.
