The Printing ink manufacturing market has witnessed a growth of about 7.5 percent every year for the last ten years. Many manufacturers have taken this growth as a scope to procure quality ink. Since printed package ink demand is accounted for 27 percent, there is high competition in this market. Besides, the market is overwhelmed with clients having different demands. A company, to succeed, must address this variety with a vertically integrated product manufacturing process. However, the majority of the market players do not deliver both the key requirements of highly flexible ink formulation and maximization of product line to support different client types in this huge market at the same time.
