Inkjet Printers Market Analysis: Multifunctional and Large Format Inkjet Printers to Register Highest Growth

According to the latest market report published by Future Market Insights titled “Inkjet Printers Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2018-2028,” the high print quality and the lower investment cost of inkjet printers is expected to boost the global inkjet printers market during the forecast period, 2018-2028. Globally, the revenue generated from sales of inkjet printers has been estimated to be around US$ 40,941 Mn in 2018 and is projected to increase at a CAGR of 6.5% by value, during the forecast period 2018-2028.

The demand for multifunctional inkjet printers and the large format inkjet printers are expected to be higher during the forecast period. The high demand of large format inkjet printers is due to the use of large format inkjet printers in the industries such as advertisement where the requirement for the higher print resolution, and better print quality is essential which is fulfilled by inkjet printers. Besides, the large format inkjet printers are used by the photographers because of their capability to print the photographs without the pixel split, proper color and combination. Inkjet printers provide the unique solution for the photographers with the ability to print on any substrate. Multifunctional inkjet printers which are extensively used in offices and institutes such as schools and colleges are expected to acquire the largest market share at the end of forecast period. The versatility of multifunctional inkjet printers to print, scan, fax, copy, paper handling has propelled the penetration of multifunctional printers. The lower cost associated with the low variants of multifunctional inkjet printers has increased the use of multifunctional inkjet printers in place of single functional inkjet printers. Besides, some of the multi-functional inkjet printers are available with the connectivity of Wi-Fi, USB, Bluetooth, LCD screen and touch which makes the control of these printers more user-friendly.

The fast pace growth of textile inkjet printer is attributed to the increasing penetration of textile inkjet printers in the textile industries. The textile inkjet printers can change the design and pattern of the print rapidly. This enables the manufacturer to print different colors, designs, and patterns on the same fabric. The higher operating speed offered by textile inkjet printers as compared to other conventional printing techniques such as screen printing, is expected to contribute further to the growth of textile inkjet printers in the textile industries. The printing speed of textile inkjet printers rages up to 1000 meters per minute.

Industrial inkjet printers are used for the marking and coding of the product. The expansion of the global packaging industry and the higher operating speed offered by industrial inkjet printers is expected to bolster the growth of industrial inkjet printers in packaging. The high velocity of industrial inkjet printers allows the nozzle to be placed at a greater distance from the product. The greater distance allows the manufacturer to set any product of different shapes and sizes. The high speed of the drop ejection allows the higher speed of the inkjet printers for marking and coding. The inkjet printers are used in industries to print date, barcodes, logos and lot codes on the products of different shapes and sizes. The lower maintenance cost and option to fill different types of inks associated with the continuous inkjet technology which is used in industrial inkjet printers is expected to contribute to the growth of industrial inkjet printers.

Inkjet press is used in the publication for the bulk printing such as printing of books, catalogues, and magazines. Inkjet printers are expected to have a lower share in the forecast period. The restraint for the inkjet press growth is the higher cost of inkjet press as compared to other printing techniques for bulk production. The use of single functional inkjet printers is expected to decline in the forecast period due to the increased penetration of laser printers. The laser printers provide lower running cost as compared to inkjet printers. The inkjet printer cartridges are expensive and have lower printing capacity while the laser printers tonner has very high printing capacity. The ink of ink cartridges dries up if the printers are not used for long.
