Japanese experts believe that, UV / EB coatings paint only in Japan's total 1.1%, UV / EB printing ink accounted for only 1.8 percent of total ink, so the market potential is enormous.

   3, the European market

   Table 1 are listed in the European radiation curing applications and market size in 1999 of some statistical data, Europe's largest radiation-curable coatings market in the wood furniture, the accounts for UV / EB coatings market for more than 60% of the total. At this meeting the European Radiation Curing Association reported in 2000 for radiation-curable resin materials reached the 50000-65000t, 2000年光initiator production in 3500-4000t, radiation-curing products, the growth rate was estimated at 8 percent, and that will last five years. The European market in 2000 the growth rate of industrial coatings is about 6%, wood paint more than 30%. They also find themselves in the automotive paint and metal coatings development is slow in some areas is barely touched upon, but the auto parts used radiation curing products has been developing. In the field of printing ink is estimated that the European market will be more than 10000t, and Toppan Printing Offset which accounts for about 73%, 17% of screen printing, flexible printing plates accounted for 10 percent, but Flexo Ink will be the direction of development. If these data reliable, the European UV / EB printing ink is a very alarming rate of growth of (It has been reported in Europe, Taiwan 17000 UV printing press).

   4, the Chinese market

   Radiation curing products in China in 2000 compared with 1999 overall growth rate of more than 60%, 20% paint, ink more than 50 percent. Even so, in the application areas of China and other advanced countries there is still a very big gap, regardless of paint or ink, and Europe, the United States compared small, photoresist, such as electronic chemicals and Japan compared to only about one-tenth. Formula products in China in 2000 the total volume of imports reached 31%, import trade accounted for 49 percent of the domestic total. China's development is characterized by radiation curing all kinds of products are produced, but the low quality specifications are not complete.
