The digital printing market size is expected to grow from USD 24.8 billion in 2021 to USD 34.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.7%. Growing demand for sustainable printing and developments in packaging and textile industries are the key factors driving the growth of the digital printing market.

“UV-cured ink to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period”
UV-cured ink primarily consists of acrylic monomers with a photoinitiator. After printing, the ink is exposed to a strong ultraviolet (UV) light, traditionally a shuttered mercury arc lamp, causing a chemical reaction that results in cross-linking of ink components to a solid. 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.

“Inkjet printhead to hold largest share of Digital printing market in 2020”
Inkjet print heads can either be of continuous inkjet type or drop-on-demand inkjet printers. In the continuous inkjet printer, a continuous stream of ink is supplied to the print head with the help of a pump and a piezoelectric nozzle cycle. The continuous inkjet printer leads to higher consumption of ink than -on-demand inkjet printers.

“North America to hold largest share in 2020”
In terms of value, North America accounts for the largest share of the overall digital printing market in 2020. The market in North America is driven by technological advancements in the packaging and textile industry. The demand for digital printing for packaging will be driven by factors such as increasing consumer durable sales, high disposable income, increasing demand for packaged foods, and demographic changes. The increased use of digital printers in packaging and textile printing in the US is expected to drive the market in North America.
