Water-based ink procurement area distribution and prospects

Recently, Huayin statistics show that the main purchasing power of water-based ink is concentrated in South China and East China. In 2001-2004, the proportion of water-based ink purchases in South China was 41%, that in East China was 35%, and that in North China was 14%. Procurement ratio in other regions is 10%. It is expected that from 2005 to 2006, South China will grow to 42% and other regions will drop to 9%, while there will be no significant changes in East China and North China.

In 2001-2004, water-based inks were mainly domestically produced, mainly because the quality of domestic water-based inks had basically passed, so most companies chose domestic inks. It is estimated that from 2005 to 2006, the origin of water-based inks will still be mainly made in China, except in South China, which is dominated by imported products, with a ratio of 55%.
