Global Alcohol-soluble Gravure Ink Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Alcohol-soluble Gravure Ink market size is expected to reach $ 1734 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
In 2025, global sales of alcohol-soluble gravure inks reached 187,000 tons, with an average selling price of US$6,200 per ton. Alcohol-soluble gravure inks are a type of high-performance printing ink made with alcohol solvents as a diluent, combined with pigments, resins, additives, and fillers. They are widely used in packaging printing, label printing, carton printing, and flexible plastic packaging, and hold an advantage in the high-end packaging market due to their fast drying speed, strong printing adhesion, and good abrasion resistance. Upstream raw materials include pigments (approximately 45% of cost), resins (approximately 25%), alcohol solvents (approximately 20%), and functional additives (approximately 10%). Major suppliers are concentrated in China, Germany, and Japan. Downstream customers include paper packaging companies, flexible plastic packaging manufacturers, tobacco and food packaging companies, and pharmaceutical packaging companies.
Global total production capacity is approximately 240,000 tons per year, with industry gross margins maintained at 18%–28%. Demand growth is driven by the packaging industry's demand for high-end and personalized printing, as well as the trend towards low-VOC solvents driven by environmental regulations. Future business opportunities are mainly concentrated in high adhesion, fast drying, low volatility, green and environmentally friendly formulas and functional inks (antibacterial, oil-proof, and waterproof). At the same time, through digital printing adaptation and capacity automation upgrades, production efficiency and market response speed can be improved, driving steady growth in the industry.
The alcohol-soluble gravure ink market is characterized by demand driven by high-end packaging, environmental regulations, and accelerated technological upgrades. As the requirements for printing quality and added functions in food, tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic packaging continue to rise, alcohol-soluble gravure inks, with their high adhesion, abrasion resistance, and fast drying properties, are experiencing sustained growth in penetration within the mid-to-high-end packaging sector. Simultaneously, global low-VOC emission regulations and green printing policies are prompting companies to accelerate the research and development and promotion of low-solvent, environmentally friendly alcohol-soluble inks, driving the market's upgrade from traditional formulations to green and functional approaches.
In terms of the competitive landscape, European and Japanese companies maintain a leading position in high-performance pigments and specialized functional ink technologies, while Chinese manufacturers are rapidly expanding in the low-to-mid-end and some high-end packaging markets due to their price advantages and rapid response capabilities. Future market competition will increasingly rely on innovative formulations, environmental compliance capabilities, automated production capacity, and customized solutions. Furthermore, the gradual integration of digital printing technology with traditional gravure processes is bringing new opportunities for personalized, small-batch, and high-efficiency production. Overall, the alcohol-soluble gravure ink market will maintain steady growth, and the industry is evolving towards higher added value, greener practices, and smarter technologies. Companies will gain a sustainable competitive advantage through technological innovation and improved service capabilities.
