Analysis of the current situation of China's ink industry market and enterprises

the basic situation of China's ink industry is:

from the current situation of ink production enterprises, in recent years, Taiwan funded enterprises with ink from industrial developed countries have developed rapidly, the first being Hangzhou ink factory, followed by ink factories in Shanghai, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Shunde, Shenzhen, Jinan and other places, At present, more than 30 joint ventures across the country have introduced foreign advanced processes and equipment. Due to the good foundation of technical force, their ink output accounts for more than half of the total national ink output

in addition, private ink enterprises also occupy a certain market. These enterprises are small in scale, but they have flexible mechanisms, low ink prices, flexible sales and strong adaptability

China has formed a number of backbone ink production enterprises represented by Shanghai Peony Ink Co., Ltd., Tianjin Dongyang Ink Co., Ltd., Hangzhou HANGHUA Ink Co., Ltd. and Peking University Deli Technology Co., Ltd., which have made great contributions to the technological progress of China's ink industry

from the perspective of ink products, in order to meet the needs of the printing market, China relies on scientific and technological progress to continuously develop new products. The main products are sheet fed offset quick drying ink, web offset ink, gravure ink, flexographic ink, silk printing ink, iron printing ink, UV curing ink, water-based ink, anti-counterfeiting should be tested with HRC scale; When the hardness is lower than hrc20, the HRB scale is used to test inks. The above ink products not only have more than 50 varieties, but also have higher and higher quality. The inks of a few enterprises have obtained the franchise of American pontone ink color standard. Tianjin Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., Shanghai DIC Ink Co., Ltd., Zhejiang New Oriental ink Group Co., Ltd., Yunnan Hongta Yuehai Ink Co., Ltd. and other enterprises have passed the ISO9000 series quality system certification. Generally speaking, most of the inks produced in China are medium and low-grade inks, and the supply exceeds the demand. Some high-end products and special products need to be imported. In 2001, 24700 tons of ink were imported, with an amount of 1.15 billion yuan

from the perspective of management, the major domestic ink manufacturing enterprises have introduced foreign advanced technology and production equipment, such as the bead mill produced by Buhler company in Switzerland, and the first operation of the inclined type 3. 1 the system must be connected to the production lines such as the ink roller and filtration equipment according to the contents of the manual, which greatly improves the management level of the enterprises and promotes the technological progress and development of the ink enterprises

from the perspective of the demand of the ink market in the future, the market demand for lithographic ink has increased steadily, maintaining a proportion of about 45-50%, of which the growth rate of rotary offset printing ink will be faster; The proportion of relief ink will decrease significantly, but the proportion of flexographic ink will increase significantly; Gravure inks are generally in a stable state, but plastic inks and water-based inks are on the rise; Printing ink although foreign research institutions or manufacturers, including the Belgian intercollegiate Electronic Research Center (IMEC), have invested in the research and development of ink, there is an upward trend, mainly due to the increase in the use of printing ink for metal, glass and plastic wire; Special and special anti-counterfeiting inks are generally on the rise, especially the demand for inkjet printing ink, anti-counterfeiting ink, UV ink, fluorescent ink and so on has increased significantly

the main gap is that there is still a certain gap between the overall level of ink production, quality and variety in China and foreign advanced countries, and there are deficiencies in printing adaptability (such as transfer printing, water resistance and high-speed printing adaptability), and the consistency of products is not ideal, which can not meet the needs of high-speed and high-quality printing. Some products still need to be imported. The quality, quantity and variety of raw materials for domestic ink production cannot be developed synchronously with ink production, and some raw materials still rely on imports. In addition, the development of special anti-counterfeiting inks is relatively slow, which can not meet the needs of the development of packaging printing and anti-counterfeiting printing, and the electronic inks required for digital printing cannot be produced in China

after joining the WTO, foreign ink enterprises have entered the Chinese market one after another, and the number of ink companies with production bases in China is increasing. China's ink industry is facing fierce competition. For example, Flint company of the United States has established an ink factory in Daxing, Beijing, which mainly produces oil ink and will become a mixing center of thermosetting ink; The wholly-owned construction of organic pigments and printing inks in Nantong, Jiangsu Province by DIC will be favored by more and more businesses; Japan sun Ink Co., Ltd. established an ink factory with an annual output of 3000 tons in Suzhou in 2003, becoming the company's fourth overseas production base after the United States, South Korea and Taiwan Province of China; Japan's Sakata ink company also established an ink factory with an annual output of 3600 tons in Shanghai in 2003. Its products are mainly gravure inks. The company has established a metal ink factory in Guangzhou. Facing new challenges, the domestic ink industry must seize opportunities, meet challenges, strengthen technological innovation, management innovation and institutional innovation, and make new contributions to the development of China's ink industry

the development trend of the ink industry in the future:

the general goal is to meet the requirements of "high-quality serialization of equipment", and the general goal is to develop in the direction of "high-speed, multi-color, fast drying, no pollution, low consumption and standardization"; We should improve the adaptability of ink products to the requirements of printing process and printing quality, and improve their scientific and technological content. In particular, we should adapt to the needs of high-tech, multi variety, bright colors, aesthetic and artistic development of packaging printing materials, optimize the product structure, and develop more high-quality printing inks; In the future, large, medium and small ink manufacturing enterprises should further deepen the reform, optimize the combination, develop in a reasonable and standardized direction, further enhance the awareness of "standardization and environmental protection", integrate with the ISO9000 quality system, expand the domestic ink market, enter the international market, and gradually replace the old products with environmentally friendly and energy-saving ink products; We should strengthen the supporting capacity of pigment resins and additives used in the industry; We should constantly strengthen the technical training of ink talents and improve their professional quality to meet the technical standards of adopting a variety of foreign advanced equipment and products and the technical requirements of highly automated production

at present, the dry shortage or blank inks in China are all dry high-tech inks, including all kinds of water-based inks, anhydrous offset printing inks, food packaging inks, offset printing sun resistant inks, special anti-counterfeiting inks, aromatic thermosetting offset printing inks, etc
