The global digital printing packaging market size reached US$ 22.6 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 40.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.46% during 2024-2032.

Digital printing packaging is a technology that primarily prints packaging materials using electronic control laser and inkjet printers. It involves transferring a digital file directly to a printer for applications on packaging materials. The digital files are further converted into the CMYK color system to communicate more accurate color output from the screen to the substrate. As compared to traditional printing, digital printing does not require the replacement of printing plates, offers enhanced printing efficiency, higher quality, and cost-effectiveness, and involves the use of various technologies. As a result, digital printing packaging finds extensive applications across the electronics, pharmaceutical, personal care, and food and beverage (F&B) industries.

Digital Printing Packaging Market Trends:

The rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions due to the increasing environmental consciousness is creating a positive outlook for the market. Digital printing packaging can produce short print runs economically, which helps reduce waste and the adverse impact on the environment. Apart from this, significant developments in inkjet and electrophotography printing technologies that help improve the efficiency of the work process and enable quicker and more innovative marketing are providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the rising electrostatic printing, signifying their ability to print images impeccably in quality with outstanding resistance to withstand various climatic conditions, is facilitating the market growth. Furthermore, the surging working population, rising disposable incomes, and hectic lifestyles have led to the rising consumption of fast food and ready-to-eat (RTE) products, which, in turn, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of consumers, widespread adoption in the personal care and cosmetics industry, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are supporting the market growth.
