For instance, in June 2022, KOMFI spol. s r. o. launched Komfi Amiga 52 Double, a flexible laminating system that can laminate digitally printed and offset pieces. The machine features automatic nip pressure activation, sheet-overlap control, and sheet separation with a built-in perforator, among other automated functions. Further, in May 2021, Graphic Finishing Partners, LLC announced the launch of a heat laminator with smart finishing technology. All parts of this laminator are controlled, maximized, and monitored by a touchscreen microcontroller, which can be accessed through an LED display. The laminator helps the operator reduce errors, maintain production quality, and enhance productivity and repeatability. It also provides timely alerts regarding excessive film tension to rectify the process. Furthermore, in April 2020, Bobst Italia SpA announced the launch of the NOVA SX 550 LAMINATOR, a solventless modular laminating machine. It is designed to deliver cost-effective performance for all production lengths on various substrates and thicknesses. Such innovations in temporary protective film industrial laminating machines is further fueling the growth of temporary protective film industrial laminating machine market. Also, high investments by vendors to upgrade their product portfolios to cater to the changing customer requirements, are creating growth opportunities for the temporary protective film industrial laminating machine market players.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Temporary Protective Film Industrial Laminating Machine Market

In Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted Italy, Spain, France, and Germany, among other countries. The subsequent imposition of lockdowns led to a drastic decline in production across multiple industries, severely affecting the temporary protective film industrial laminating machine market in the region. The lockdown imposed by the government resulted in the temporary shutdown of several manufacturing plants, which resulted in the low production of temporary protective film industrial laminating machines. However, in 2021, manufacturing businesses resumed with the relaxation of lockdown measures. With this, the demand for protective films in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics industries began increasing in 2021. These conditions that are conducive to revival are likely to boost the growth of the temporary protective film industrial laminating machine market in the coming years.
