Flexographic Printing Machine Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The high demand volumes from the packaging industry is notably driving the flexographic printing machine market growth, although factors such as fluctuation in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the flexographic printing machine industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Flexographic Printing Machine Market Driver
The high demand volumes from the packaging industry is one of the key drivers fueling the flexographic printing machine market growth. Packaging is a primary tool used to attract the attention of buyers. Meanwhile, increasing internet penetration on the other hand has positively impacted the market. Due to the increasing number of internet users, there has been a wide increase in online purchases as well. This has strengthened the global packaging market. Online retailers or e-commerce companies are using different types of corrugated boxes and packaging techniques as per the properties of the products transported. Thus, the growing population, coupled with the rising demand for consumer goods and the increase in disposable income in developing countries is expected to drive the demand for flexographic printing machines during the forecast period.
Key Flexographic Printing Machine Market Trend
The increasing popularity of flexo-digital hybrid label printing solutions is one of the key flexographic printing machine market trends contributing to the market growth. Hybrid solutions offer the benefits of both flexographic printing and digital technologies. Flexography enables the addition of primers, metallics, spot colors, and cold foils, whereas digital printing technology offers high efficiency, such as the ability to run multiple versions and colors in a single pass. Significantly, flexo-digital hybrid label printing solutions allow printing companies to enhance productivity and increase the throughput and quality of printing. For instance, MPS Systems offers the MPS EF SYMJET, which is a flexo-digital hybrid label printing solution with a fully automated MPS EF platform and an integrated Domino N610i digital ultraviolet (UV) inkjet label press. Such instances are fueling the flexographic printing machine market growth.
Key Flexographic Printing Machine Market Challenge
Fluctuation in raw material prices is one of the challenges limiting the flexographic printing machine market growth. Primary raw materials used in flexographic printing are substrate and ink. Subsequently, the oil and gas industry is one of the principal suppliers of the raw materials of flexographic printing ink. However, fluctuations in the prices of crude oil have a severe effect on the prices of raw materials, thereby affecting the costs of flexographic printing machines. To avoid fluctuation in prices of the final product, vendors generally include price adjustment clauses in sales contracts. Moreover, as these clauses generally mitigate risks, high prices, and supplies of raw materials, they still might impact the client's demand for the final product. Thus, the uncertainty of pricing and costs incurred by vendors and the challenge of passing these expenses to clients will negatively impact the market for flexographic printing machines.
This flexographic printing machine market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
