Dublin, July 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "A Bright Future for Colour Inkjet Digital Printing in Global Labels and Packaging Markets: The State of the Industry in 2018 with Forecasts to 2023 (Volume I & II)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In 2018 colour inkjet digital technology is seeing strong and robust and accelerating double digit growth across all the labels & packaging segments listed above - This is due to the combination of a number of positive factors, including:
- More cost effective than traditional analogue printing processes for shorter print runs
- Often more cost effective for labels & packaging than competing digital technologies(electro-photographic)
- Print quality is comparable to analogue press print quality (eg: Flexo finish). This is seen as an advantage in matching the print on a single pack (eg: Hybrid presses) or across a product category
- Offers powerful value added functionalities & benefits, comparable to NFC/RFID but at significantly lower incremental costs.
Success has already been seen across the labels industry with significant further growth prospects in terms of markets, product categories and geographies:
- Existing markets and new product categories within existing markets
- New vertical markets & new geographies.
But actually the labels market looks to be just the tip of the iceberg' - The opportunities in the packaging arena will, in the end, be much greater than labels - It will just take a bit longer to realise.
And furthermore, the packaging industry is in a position to leverage on inkjet technology development (eg: Print Heads/Inks) and know-how built up over recent years already in the labels field and indeed more generally across various other industries including the very large & powerful global desktop printer industry.
There are not fundamental obstacles in terms of physics - More a matter of interest parties investing sufficient resources in R&D to develop higher performance and more cost effective digital presses together with still better adapted colour inkjet digital consumables (ie. substrate materials & digital inks).
By 2018 a strong surge to develop better more cost-effective technology and bring this to the market has become evident - And particularly in terms of latest generation automated production full colour inkjet presses, which is a focal point of this report.
