East China: ink demand in recent years have a larger growth, the increase in offset printing ink, flexo ink tends to be stable, plastic printing ink maintained high growth rate, the more intense competition in the market, product price fluctuations, enterprises should to high quality, low price, excellent service to win the market. 

Southern China area: ink demand has increased over previous years, but due to the contradiction between supply and demand, the price is still a downward trend, the competition will be more intense. 

Southwest area: emerging small and medium-sized printing ink manufacturers are constantly emerging, the quality standard is uneven, with the low price squeeze market problems. Due to the constraints of price factors, it is difficult for manufacturers to develop new products, to improve the overall level of the printing industry to bring the impact. 

North China: ink market has three characteristics -- water-based flexographic, UV ink is developing fast, offset printing ink to the dominant products of the region; solvent based inks will gradually withdraw from the market. 

Western region: due to the relatively backward economic development of the region, the requirements of the grade of the ink is not very high, the market potential is great. 

Industry experts believe that the next 3 to 5 years, the demand for offset printing ink, screen printing inks, flexo ink special inks, such as products in the domestic market will present upward trend, and with China's accession to the WTO and people's awareness of environmental protection to strengthen and advanced alcohol soluble and water soluble ink green ink in the momentum of rapid growth. 

At present, including China, Japan, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania and other regions, due to competition increase, and market share growth is very small, which the ink industry facing very fierce competition, but also face rising raw material prices,. At present, the international companies have been MD-Both and Sun Chemical and other enterprises to improve or is expected to increase the price of ink, which is bound to have a certain impact on the domestic market. 

Based on the future of the Chinese ink market optimistic estimates, including large Japanese ink Chemistry (DIC), India MicroInks ink, South Korea, Korea, DuPont, DuPont and other multinational companies have expanded investment in china. 

The massive entry of foreign capital has made the production capacity of Chinese ink industry unprecedented increase, but also put forward severe challenges to the survival and development of domestic medium and small ink enterprises. Due to the domestic enterprises exist many problems of small scale, lack of talent, lack of funds, investment in research and development of low, resulting in technological innovation capability is not strong, backward production technology in the status of world level, the ink manufacturers must find a way to achieve the scale of operation, in order to seek to stand to the invincible position in the fierce competition in the market in the future. 

Now China has entered the WTO, and has been gradually integrated into the new situation of global economic integration, Chinese ink industry in addition to increase production, should pay attention to adjust the industrial structure, increase research and development efforts, improve product technology content, increase the varieties, improve grades, improve the quality and the stability of the product homogeneity, to adapt to today multi-color, high speed, quick drying, non pollution and low consumption of modern printing development needs. In addition, the current price factor is still around most of China's consumption, but the quality and service requirements are gradually improved. Region is still the advantage of ink business can be used, but also shows that the domestic ink industry, the degree of marketization is relatively limited. As the market competition intensifies, ink companies need to constantly improve their product quality and services, to overcome the difficulties of capital turnover, a series of problems.
