Global Digital Printing Packaging Market by Flexible Plastic 2017-2021

Overview of the global digital printing packaging market by flexible plastic

According to Technavio's market research report, the global digital printing packaging market by flexible plastic will grow rapidly at a CAGR of more than 17% during the forecast period. One of the key factors driving the market's growth is the cost-effectiveness of thermal transfer printing (TTP) over analog hot stamp printing. TTP is extensively preferred over hot stamp printing because they offer a lot of advantages in terms of operation and cost. TTP is gaining popularity because of its benefits in terms of quality in comparison to the analog hot stamp printing. Also, the return on investments in TTP is higher than the hot stamp. This encourages most of the end-users to shift from the hot stamp to TTP. These end-user segments include snacks and beverage manufacturers, fruits and vegetable packaging manufacturers, and consumer goods manufacturers. For instance, the world's leading beverage company Coco-Cola, is adopting TTP to digitally print on beverage cups. This in turn, will boost the application of digital printing on flexible plastic during the estimated period.

To enable high-resolution and high-volume printing, there is an increasing focus towards the development of the next generation of digital printing for flexible plastic. Additionally, leading companies are also investing heavily to develop accurate color matching printing using digital technologies. This will result in increasing innovations in the digital printing of flexible plastics, which will be one of the key trends that will propel the growth prospects of this global market until the end of 2021.
