In the Bahrain gravure printing inks market, the import trend experienced a decline with a growth rate of -9.0% from 2023 to 2024, while maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2020 to 2024. This downturn in import momentum could be attributed to shifting demand patterns or changes in trade policies impacting market stability.
The Bahrain gravure printing inks market is witnessing steady growth due to the increasing demand for high-quality printing in packaging, textiles, and various industrial applications. Gravure printing, known for its ability to produce fine details and high-volume prints, is widely used in packaging materials such as flexible packaging, labels, and newspaper printing. As Bahrains packaging industry continues to grow, driven by its expanding retail sector and e-commerce market, the demand for gravure printing inks is expected to rise. Moreover, advancements in ink formulations, including eco-friendly and low-emission inks, are fueling the demand for gravure printing in Bahrain, which is contributing to the growth of the overall market.
Segmented by resin type (polyamide, nitrocellulose, polyurethane), application (packaging, labels, publication), and substrate (paper, plastic, metal), the gravure printing ink market in Bahrain is tied closely to the flexible packaging sector. Trends show a growing focus on solvent recovery systems, low-VOC ink formulations, and bio-based alternatives. Demand is particularly strong from food and beverage packaging manufacturers.
The gravure printing inks market in Bahrain is constrained by the gradual shift in the printing industry toward digital and flexographic technologies, which are more cost-effective for shorter print runs. Gravure printing, known for high setup costs, becomes less attractive in a small market like Bahrain. Moreover, environmental regulations concerning solvent-based inks are tightening, increasing compliance costs. The market also suffers from limited local production capabilities, resulting in dependency on imported raw materials and finished inks, which are subject to global price fluctuations and logistic delays.
The Gravure Printing Inks Market in Bahrain provides investment opportunities in the printing and packaging sectors. Developing eco-friendly and high-performance inks aligns with global sustainability trends and growing packaging demands.
Bahrain encourages sustainable industrial practices, including in the printing inks market, by regulating the use of eco-friendly gravure inks. Environmental policies promote reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and support research into bio-based ink formulations aligned with global sustainability goals.
