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.
One of the key factors driving the digital printing market for packaging growth is the growing consumption of packaged beverages globally. There is a growing consumption of packaged milk and dairy-based beverages across the world. As a result of this increasing consumption, it is fuelling the demand for digital printing for packaging. There is an increasing adoption of digital printing when compared to analog printing as digital printing can deliver unlimited product information on beverage packaging.
Moreover, the main purpose of digital or smart labels on beverages and other products is to enable end-users to access information about beverage products using the web and mobile applications. There is rising adoption of digital printing in packaging applications by several manufacturers to communicate details about their products more effectively to consumers. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the digital printing market for packaging growth is the rising demand from consumer goods manufacturers. There is an increasing demand for products in varying weights/types of packaging (100 grams, 250 grams, and 500 grams) by end-users in the consumer goods industry. Therefore, it has led to an increase in the types of packaging, and manufacturers of consumer goods are recording proliferation in SKUs. Thus, the increasing SKU proliferation will result in an increasing need for customization in printing, with a short lead time.
Moreover, it is essential to have a shorter lead time for these products to hit the market due to the risk of inventory shortages at both the consumer goods manufacturer and retailer ends. Therefore, it is expected to increase the demand for digital printing for packaging as it can offer individual custom printing in a short duration with high efficiency. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The high price of printing ink materials is one of the key challenges hindering the digital printing market for packaging growth. There is an increasing adoption of low-priced ink digital printers across small-scale industries. One of the main reasons for this increasing adoption is that these end-users need to invest in ink regularly, which may increase their operational costs. In addition, several market players in the global Digital Printing for Packaging Market are manufacturing their own printing inks.
Moreover, the high cost of chemicals used in the manufacturing of printing inks forces these market players to increase the maximum retail price (MRP) of printing inks to minimize their manufacturing costs. For instance, in March 2021, Clariant, a specialty chemical company, announced global price increases across its product portfolio. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market which in turn will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
