The threat of new entrants is likely to deter the performance of these players as they focus on products with lower content of VOC emitting inks. The availability of substitutes such as UV-cured inks is also projected to act as a hindrance. However, TMR analysts believe that these challenges present certain opportunities for players to innovate and develop newer products that can adhere to environmental restrictions and compete with rival offerings.
