Digital Printing Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Printing Technology (Electrophotography, Direct Thermal Printing), Application (Books, Digital Printing), End User (Cosmetic, Pharmaceuticals) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Digital Printing Market is accounted for $22.79 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $44.76 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Some of the key factors propelling the market growth include growing demand for sustainable printing and developments in packaging and textile industries, reduction in per unit cost of printing with digital printers, rapid industrialization, growing demand of printing for e- commerce, and rising demand for digital advertisements. However, high initial investments are likely to restraint the market.
Digital Printing is a modern method of production that allows for printing from electronic files. Digital printing can be defined as the process of printing digital-based images, which can be directly printed onto various media substrates (paper, photo paper, canvas, fabric, synthetics, cardstock, and other substrates). It does not require a printing plate in contrast to the more traditional offset printing. Digital printing involves the document to re-create on a computer and then printed directly onto the material of your choice. It is an alternative to various other more conventional methods much as lithography, flexography, gravure, letter press, and others. The technology of digital printing eliminates several of the mechanical steps that are usually required for more traditional printing methods such as manually stripping pieces together, making plates or making films and color proofs.
By ink type, the ultraviolet (UV)-cured ink segment is anticipated to grow at the significant rate during the forecast period. The UV cured inks typically contain reactive monomers, oligomers, pigments and additives, and photoinitiators. The biggest advantage of UV cured inks is that the inks offer instant drying on a wide range of substrates from metals, glass, and ceramics to flexible packaging, thin-gauge polymeric films, and more. With the increasing availability of curing technologies, new delivery systems, and raw materials the scope for UV cured ink is growing. This type of ink gets set and dries quickly on exposure to UV light and can be sent to the next step of the production process. This makes it durable and suitable for printing on a wide range of flexible materials, along with direct to rigid substrates. UV-curable ink also offers some environmental advantages; for instance, it allows printers to use ink without toxins, i.e., 100% ink, and no wastage compared to solvent-based inks.
On the basis of geography, Asia Pacific region is expected to have considerable market growth during the forecast period, due to rapid growth in industrialisation that has created increase in demand for digital printing. Moreover increase in demand from textile industry, packaging industry and others leverages a positive impact on the market growth in this region. The Chinese printing industry shows a high level of enthusiasm and interest toward new, data-based business models, digital platform solutions, and end-to-end digitized value creation chains. The digital printing penetration has enabled the local designers to have online access to over 12,000 folding carton designs, making the designing of packaging as a forefront toward adoption. The Japanese digital printing market is driven by various factors, such as the growing adoption of e-commerce, consumer electronics, and packaged and processed food. Besides, factors such as the rise in demand for various application areas have been driving the market growth in the country.
