UV flexographic inks are widely used in the production of packaging, labels, and corrugated cardboard. China is a major global supplier of UV flexographic inks; the industry's development in the country is driven by a concentrated industrial ecosystem and a vertically integrated supply chain network. Production capacity is heavily clustered in provinces and municipalities such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai-with Guangdong alone accounting for approximately 30% of the total number of enterprises nationwide. While production capacity is also expanding in provinces like Fujian, the scale remains smaller than that of these core hubs.
Many suppliers now offer low-VOC, bio-based, or recycling-compatible inks.
