The South East Asia flexographic ink market was valued at US$ 443.26 million in 2019 and it is projected to reach US$ 661.06 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2020 to 2027.

Flexographic ink, also known as flexo printing ink, is used in the printing of packaging materials such as cardboard boxes, packaged food, paper bags, plastic bags, and newspapers.  There is an upsurge in demand for flexographic inks from the packaging industry due to the growing focus of manufacturers on the development of attractive packaging methods and materials for their products. UV curable ink is gaining high acceptance over other inks such as water-based ink and solvent-based ink due to its advantages such as high production output, superior bonding, low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, lowered drying time, reduced rejection rates, and better solvent resistance properties. The demand for UV-curable inks has also increased on the back of continuous changes in environmental regulations, and growing awareness and rising concern toward improving the safety of packaged foods. Technological advancements in the field have reduced the risk of fading, delamination, and bubble formations, which is anticipated to further drive the demand for flexographic inks.

The COVID-19 outbreak first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace worldwide. As of September 2020, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are among the highly affected South East Asian countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Chemicals and materials is among the major industries facing serious disruptions.
