Global Digital Textile Printing Ink Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Digital Textile Printing Ink Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Digital textile printing is to input images into a computer for processing through digital technology. After editing by the computer printing and color separation system, the inkjet printer is controlled by special software, and the ink is sprayed on various fabrics or transfer media to form the printed fabric required by the design. Textile digital printing ink refers to the ink used for textile printing, which is a key factor for digital printing technology to make patterns on grey fabrics. Textile digital printing inks can be used on natural and synthetic fabrics. It is used for printing clothes and apparel, such as T-shirts, promotional apparel, banners, flags, and several other textile applications.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Digital Textile Printing Ink market finds that the global Digital Textile Printing Ink market reached a value of USD 1012.43 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1629.95 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.26% during the forecast period.

Market Development Constraints

The large investment in digital inkjet printing technology and the high cost of ink is limiting factor in the digital textile printing ink market. Ink is not a cheap investment, not as affordable as traditional printing pastes. On the one hand, the productivity of textile digital printing inks is low. Pigment ink is a relatively new development in textile digital printing, but it is more difficult to produce. The pigment particles in the ink must be ground very small to pass through the small nozzle holes on the print head. This process makes the pigment ink in digital textile printing more expensive than the pigment paste in traditional textile printing. On the other hand, digital dyes always require a purification process to remove natural by-products such as minerals and salt. The dyes used in digital textile inks must be purified, which increases the cost of digital textile printing inks.
The colors of digital textile printing are all mixed with fourcolor inks. A little extra influence such as ink differences, differences between print heads, and small changes in the environment during the printing process will affect the accuracy of a series of colors after color mixing. Therefore, the color accuracy of digital printing is slightly worse than that of traditional printing. In addition, digital textile printing cannot
automatically change the inkjet volume according to the different parts of the block surface and the line according to the different patterns of the pattern. In this way, the difference of different parts of the pattern cannot be satisfied, and it will greatly reduce the beauty of the pattern. The current digital textile printing technology has these shortcomings, which bring limitations to the development of the digital textile printing ink market.
