The forecast for the production of printing inks (excluding black) in Germany from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent downward trend. The forecasted values show a gradual decline from 315.98 million kilograms in 2024 to 257.79 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decreases range between 4-5%, suggesting a steady contraction in production. Given that the production stood at a higher level in 2023 than the 2024 forecast, this downward trend highlights potential market challenges.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in digital printing that may influence ink demand.
- Shift towards environmentally friendly inks impacting production volumes.
- Global economic factors potentially affecting export demands.
