Technological Advancements in Tattoo Removal to Offer Attractive Opportunities Youths are significant end-users of tattoo inks. As their age increases, most people opt for the removal of tattoos.

Other methods of tattoo removal are also available in the market. However, most of them are painful and ineffective. These include dermabrasion and excision. They damage the skin and result in severe scarring. These methods are used in extreme cases, where laser surgery is not an option.



VOC emissions that take place during the use of inks pose a threat to the environment. Several countries have set guidelines restricting the amount of VOCs emitted during the usage of inks in industries, especially solvent-based inks.

Manufacturing operations are bound by regulations and rules with respect to the evaluation, registration, storage, usage, handling, and transportation of certain substances and their emissions, effluents, and other wastes. Violations of such regulations lead to legal obligations in future business activities.

The number of safety regulations have increased in order to avoid adverse health consequences resulting from inhaling toxic substances. This is likely to hamper inks market in the near future.

Asia Pacific Dominates Global Inks Market

Savory snacks and confectionaries drive the popularity of flexible plastic with small, affordable pack sizes among low-income consumers. The inks market in Asia Pacific is witnessing growth, as inks are employed to print details regarding products on their packaging.

Changing consumer lifestyles in developed countries and increasing disposable income are key drivers of the Europe inks market. Russia and Germany are major markets for rigid packaging in Europe. Rigid packaging protects the product from damage, and hence, is widely used.
