Increasing demand for inks in cosmetic packaging has been driving the market

For instance, the US cosmetic export in 2015 was over USD 2-billion in Asia Pacific countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines. The US cosmetic export to China in 2015 was over USD 500-million. Further exports have increased as much as 62% in recent years among high potential markets such as Indonesia, China and Vietnam.

Meanwhile, the market growth is hindered by stringent government regulation on plastic packaging materials. Few of the government agencies, such as EPA and FDA, have implemented regulation limiting the applications of plastic packaging which may hinder market growth over the forecast timeframe.

US has been one of the leading markets of the industry, increasing usage of packaged food products in the region will substantially grow the market.

The flexible packaging market has significant CAGR. The segment is likely to grow due to rise in consumption of beverage products.
