The Inkjet Printhead Market size is estimated at USD 2.95 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.75 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.94% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Bulk PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) or conventional PZT printing has been a turning point for substrate printing in the industrial sector, wherein high dots per inch are secondary compared to high-volume. Inkjet printhead technology has made its way into ceramic tiles and functional printing. In addition, as thin-film and bulk PZT printheads do not directly interact with the substrate, these technologies have increased significantly in textiles and label printing.
The inkjet printhead market is moderately fragmented due to the presence of global players and small and medium-sized enterprises. The competition results in increased innovation to grab the market opportunity to gain the maximum possible market share. The major players in the market, like Ricoh Group, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Canon, Konica Minolta Inc., and Xaar PLC, are adopting strategies such as partnerships, innovations, and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.
In November 2022, Kao Collins and FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions partnered to strengthen inkjet imprinting solutions for the commercial imprinting sector. Customers were likely to benefit from improved service choices and increased parts availability for inkjet print system hardware through the combined efforts of Fujifilm and Kao Collins.
In March 2022, Ricoh Company Ltd. released three newly developed industrial-grade inkjet printheads, RICOH MH5422, RICOH MH5442, and RICOH MH5422 Type A, which could be used as essential components in digital printing systems. The new printheads use Ricoh's high-precision technology to deliver outstanding picture quality and productivity. They increased endurance due to better nozzle surface abrasion resistance and a wide range of ink compatibility. Ricoh also increased system compatibility using different cables and high-precision surface alignment characteristics.
