A representative for Research and Marketing (R&M), advised WFOL “The increasing demand for large format printing in the textile, advertising, and packaging industries and the rising adoption of UV curable inks in outdoor advertising, CAD, and technical printing applications drives the growth of the large format printer market”
WFOL were advised that the large format printer market is expected to grow from USD 8.37 billion in 2017 to USD 10.59 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.00% between 2017 and 2023. On the back of a growing demand for large format printing in the textile, advertising, and packaging industries which is in turn driving the large format printer market. They suggested that major restraining factors for the growth of the large format printer market might include high initial investments and operating costs.
R&M noted that the “Large format printer market for raster image processor (RIP) software is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period”
Raster image processor (RIP) software offering for large format printer is the fastest-growing segment. It helps in effective processing of files, which makes large format printers work faster and more consistently, which is very important for printing on different materials such as plastics, textiles, and others. With a dedicated RIP program, which is capable of processing larger files, the print management tasks become much easier; it enables people to multitask, thereby increasing process efficiency.
The R&M representative also noted that “The large format printer market for ink-based (inkjet) printer technology is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period”
The market for ink-based (inkjet) printer technology is, according to R&M, expected to grow at the highest rate during 2017 and 2023. They believe that one of the major reasons for the higher growth of the market for inkjet printers is the increasing use of inkjet large format printers for technical and CAD printing. Inkjet printer provides reduced running costs for large format printing, which has led to the widespread adoption of inkjet printers in this industry.
The APAC Market
R&M saw the large format printer market in APAC growing at the highest rate between 2017 and 2023. APAC is one of the prospective markets for this technology. Countries such as Japan and South Korea are already developed economies, and China had been the fastest-growing economy in the world for the last 2 decades.
There is likely to be a tremendous demand for large format printers in the region during the forecast period because of high growth in graphic printing, apparel & textile printing, and CAD and technical printing. APAC produces a large amount of apparels and textiles, and this sector is expected to grow steadily in this region. A significant growth is likely to be witnessed in advertising and signage in India mainly due to the booming economy.
