Report Description


Functional Ceramic Inks Market Outlook 2031

The global functional ceramic inks market size was valued at USD 1.53 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 2.37 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. Increasing demand for decorative tiles, ­­ornamental floors, and aesthetic finish in offices, households, & residential spaces is anticipated to fuel the market.

Rapid increases in the construction activities of hotels, offices, malls, and residential buildings are likely to boost the production of ceramic tiles, which significantly increases the demand for functional ceramic ink. For instance, world tiles production reached 18,339 million sqm in 2021, a 7.2% increase compared to 2020

Functional Ceramic Inks Market Outlook

Functional ceramic ink possesses high opacity, low viscosity, resistance to ultraviolet light, water resistance, and abrasion resistance properties. It is made up of a combination of fine glass particles and metal oxide pigments, which makes it a preferable choice for glass printing and ceramic tiles printing. Functional Ceramic ink carries metallic oxide pigments, which play a crucial role in component etching and indoor & outdoor glass printing of windshields.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the functional ceramic ink market. A sharp decline in demand from the printing industry hampered the market. The preventive measures imposed by the government ceased the operation of many industries including the printing industry.

Furthermore, several limitations & restrictions on import and export activities disrupted the supply chain of raw materials required for ceramic ink, which significantly slowed down the revenue generation of the market.

Functional Ceramic Inks Market Dynamics

Functional Ceramic Inks Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Increasing usage of digital printing technology is expected to boost the market share during the forecast period. Functional ceramic ink used in digital printing provides long-lasting beauty, high gloss, and a wide color gamut. Digital printing has advantages such as it delivers quick, simple processes, and is environmentally friendly.

It allows for the printing of thinner tiles and reduces material waste. Rising demand for ceramic tiles for floors and walls is further likely to drive the market. Ceramic tiles are resistant to high temperatures, durable, and have a variety of designs.

Existing Restraints

The functional ceramic ink often clumps together, as the pigments settle quickly. Thus, color performance became a major concern, which may hinder the market. These inks have a small color palette, which may create trouble for ceramic decorators in matching the exact pantone colors and being unable to print some colors entirely.

Moreover, the transition from analog to digital printing technology coupled with ceramic digital printers costs higher, which is expected to limit the functional ceramic ink market.

Emerging Opportunities

Growing adoption in the automotive sector for indoor and outdoor glass paintings is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the functional ceramic ink market. The ceramic coating is usually used for painting cars exteriors and other surfaces, as it helps to enhance the aesthetic values of the vehicle. 

Furthermore, increasing preference for ceramic decals in the food and beverages industry is likely to create immense opportunity for market expansion. Decals are decorative stickers, using ceramic inks onto film-coated paper. It is used for printing logos, instructions, or other important information and message.

Functional Ceramic Inks Market Segment Insights

Technology Segment Analysis

Based on technology, the functional ceramic inks market is bifurcated into digital printing and analog printing. The digital printing segment is projected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period, due to the increasing demand for aesthetic designs for offices, homes, and restaurants.

Digital ceramic ink printing uses inkjet technology and is used to print on glass or ceramic tiles. Inkjet technology has high-quality output and it is capable of printing fine and smooth details. Rising demand for decorative and 3D tiles is further likely to boost the segment.


The analog printing segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the coming years. Analog printing is used for conventional or traditional print methods such as food containers and tiles. It yields high print quality. Rising customization in food packaging and containers is expected to fuel the segment.

Functional Ceramic Inks Market Technology

Application Segment Analysis

On the basis of application, the market is divided into glass printing, ceramic tiles, food container printing, and others. The ceramic tiles segment is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the assessment period, due to rising demand for ceramic tiles for decorative purposes. Ceramic tiles provide artistic effects, metallic views, and photographic images. The segment growth is further attributed to the increasing commercial infrastructure activities at a rapid pace.

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global functional ceramic inks market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the growing infrastructural development in the region.

However, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR, owing to the rising production and export of ceramic tiles, especially in emerging countries such as India and China. Increasing commercial decoration along with construction activities are likely to fuel the market in the region.

  • For instance, in 2021, China was the leading exporter of ceramic tiles in the world, with exports amounting to nearly 601 million square meters of ceramic tiles. Whereas, India was the second-largest exporter of ceramic tiles, with exports amounting to about 493 million square meters.
