The reports categorize the global digital packaging and labeling market as a part of the global technology hardware, storage, and peripherals market within the overall global information technology market. The parent global technology hardware, storage, and peripherals market covers manufacturers of cellular phones, personal computers, servers, electronic computer components, and peripherals. Our research report has extensively covered external factors influencing the parent market growth during the forecast period.
The benefits of variable data printing are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high per-unit cost for high-volume printing may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Digital Packaging And Labeling Market Driver
The benefits of variable data printing are notably driving the digital printing packaging market growth. End-users can leverage the benefits of custom printing by adopting digital packaging and labeling. In digital packaging and labeling, the content already printed on sheets can be changed on computers or personalized programmable devices. However, in traditional analog printing, separate printing plates are required for different content printing.
In this process, the entire operation must be halted to replace content plates. This will increase the setup time, including 20 minutes for plate heating. The overall increase in the setup time will augment the setup cost. As a result, the per-unit printing cost will increase in analog printing. Hence, the demand for digital packaging and printing is surging due to its variable data printing benefits.
Significant Digital Packaging And Labeling Market Trend
Rising demand from consumer goods manufacturers is the key trend in the digital printing packaging market. End-users of the consumer goods industry are demanding products in varying weights/arrays of packages (100 grams, 250 grams, and 500 grams). As a result of the increase in arrays of packages, manufacturers of consumer goods are recording SKU proliferation. Rising SKU proliferation will increase the need for customization in printing with a short lead time.
The lead time for these products to hit the market will be very short due to the risk of inventory shortage at both consumer goods manufacturer and retailer ends. This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for digital packaging and labeling as it can provide individual custom printing at a short duration with high efficiency.
Major Digital Packaging And Labeling Market Challenge
High per-unit cost for high-volume printing is the major challenge impeding the digital printing packaging market growth. Digital packaging and labeling have no setup cost. However, its per-unit cost for printing is around 40% higher than analog printing. The minute printing molecules and advanced software used in digital packaging and labeling make its production costlier than analog printing. In addition, the ink consumption in digital packaging and printing is comparatively more than that in analog printing.
In analog printing, once the machine is set up for operations, it will work continuously unless it needs to be halted for any mechanical repair. Therefore, analog printing helps in diluting the effect of its high setup cost by printing large volumes in one go. Therefore, high-volume printing is more cost-efficient in analog printing than in digital packaging and labeling. As a result, analog printing can have economies of scale for higher volume printing at some point of production, whereas digital packaging and labeling cannot achieve the same. In digital packaging and labeling, each print costs exactly the same despite the volume of the production run. This can become a major challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
