Printing machinery and equipment refers to the mechanical and electronic devices used in the process of transferring text, images, or designs onto various surfaces, such as paper, fabric, plastic, or metal.
The printing machinery and equipment market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders, or partnerships), of printing machinery and equipment are essential for producing printed materials in different industries, including publishing, packaging, advertising, and textiles. It also supports the creation of promotional materials like banners, flyers, and posters to enhance brand visibility.
The global printing machinery and equipment market was valued at $40,514.98 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 8.00%.
Increasing International trade
During the historic period, the increasing international trade supported the growth of the printing machinery and equipment market. As global trade expands, businesses need more printed materials like product labels, manuals and marketing brochures to cater to diverse markets. This drives the demand for advanced printing technologies, encouraging innovation and higher production of printing machinery. Additionally, increased trade allows manufacturers to source raw materials and components globally, reducing costs and improving efficiency, further fueling the industry's growth. For instance, in June 2023, according to the Global Trade Update published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization that promotes world trade, over the first three months of 2023, trade in products increased by 1.9% from the fourth quarter of 2022, adding over $100 billion. Global services trade climbed by around $50 billion or 2.8%, over the previous quarter. Additionally, global merchandise trade volume was expected to expand 1.7% in 2023 and 3.2% in 2024. The estimated 1.7% growth in global trade volume in 2023 exceeds the prior forecast of 1.0% in October 2022. Therefore, the increasing international trade drove the growth of the printing machinery and equipment market.
Advancements In Specialty Color Printing Technology
Companies in the printing machinery and equipment market are focusing on developing advanced printers with specialty color capabilities to improve print quality, broaden design options, and meet the diverse needs of various industries. These innovations include metallic, fluorescent, and textured printing, catering to sectors such as packaging, advertising, and commercial printing. For instance, in December 2024, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, a Japan-based company specializing in imaging, photography and graphic arts launched four new mid-range production presses in the REVORIA PRESS series, including the EC2100S, SC285S, EC2100 and SC285 models. These presses are designed to enhance productivity and offer advanced printing capabilities, especially with specialty colors. The EC2100S and SC285S models feature a specialty toner station for five-color printing in one pass, supporting gold, silver, clear, pink and textured paper toners to create vibrant metallic effects and unique designs. Meanwhile, the EC2100 and SC285 models are four-color presses, ideal for standard CMYK printing (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key-black). In terms of speed, the EC2100S delivers 100 pages per minute, making it suitable for commercial printing, jobbers and the photo market, while the SC285S and SC285 operate at 85 pages per minute, catering to photo books, short-run proofing and jobbers.
The global printing machinery and equipment markets are fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top 10 competitors in the market made up 18.25% of the total market in 2023.
