Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for printing inks in Finland experienced significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2024. After reaching a high of 11.3 thousand tons in 2018, consumption dropped sharply to 6.1 thousand tons in 2019. A partial recovery followed in 2020, bringing volume to 9.2 thousand tons, but from 2021 onward a steady downward trend set in, culminating at 6.0 thousand tons in 2024.

Market value, measured in monetary terms, did not mirror the physical volume trajectory. In 2019, while tonnage fell, the market's value rose to 41.2 million $, suggesting a substantial increase in average prices or a shift toward higher-value products. Value then fluctuated between 36.9 million $ and 39.2 million $ through 2022 before declining to 30.1 million $ in 2024, indicating that both volume contraction and price factors influenced the final market size.
