Global Fabric Printing Machine Market Report, Trends, Share, and Forecast to 2028

Fabric Printing Machine Market Overview

The global Fabric Printing Machine market was valued at USD 159.2 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 311.6 million in 2028 with a CAGR of 10.2% in 2022-2028. Due to the increased use of digital fabric printing, the need for fabric printing machines is fast expanding. Furthermore, the fabric printing machine market is expected to grow due to rapid changes in fashion trends and increased demand for technical textiles. Furthermore, technological advancements and the advent of high-speed, single-pass big printers have resulted in the upgrade of traditional fabric printing machines, likely to propel the textile printing machine market forward. Various technical breakthroughs in hybrid and digital fabric printing machines, on the other hand, are projected to provide lucrative chances for the fabric printing machine market to grow.

What is Fabric Printing Machine?

Applying color to fabric in specific patterns or designs is known as fabric printing. The color is linked to the fiber incorrectly printed fabrics, making them resistant to washing and friction. Cloth printing is similar to dyeing, except when dyeing properly, the entire fabric is uniformly covered in one color, and when printing, one or more colors are applied to it in specific areas and strongly defined patterns. Colors can be placed on cloth using wooden blocks, stencils, engraved plates, rollers, or silkscreens in printing. Colorants for printing contain dyes thickened to prevent color from spreading beyond the confines of a pattern or design due to capillary attraction.

Growth Driver

Improvement in Economic Conditions/Growth in Disposable Income

The two main elements driving the rise of the luxury goods sector are an improvement in the economy and an increase in disposable income. The global economy came to a halt following the economic crises in Europe and China in 2009. Strong economic growth, particularly in developing economies, has increased middle-income groups’ disposable income, increasing the middle-class population. Furthermore, disposable income has increased in North America and Asia-Pacific, which has fueled the expansion of the textile printing machine market.

Opportunity

Technological Advancements in Developing High-end Digital Textile Printers

Manufacturers of digital textile printers are often focused on producing technologically superior products and establishing a competitive market advantage. These companies aim to broaden their technologies and create products that can be used in various settings. Digital textile printing systems that have recently been created may print using eco-solvent, UV, solvent, and aqueous inks, minimizing the environmental effect of printing processes. Furthermore, with greater investment in digital textile printer integration, new software and programs enable the creation of novel designs and a wide range of color combinations and improved sharpness and brilliant-colored textures.

Restraint

High Cost of Digital Fabric Printing Machine

Digital textile printing machines are more expensive than traditional textile printing machines. When the total cost of ownership of conventional and digital textile printing is compared (water, energy, operators, service fees, ink, fabric post-treatment, etc.), digital textile printing of one meter of fabric is around 1.5X more expensive than traditional printing. Furthermore, to get the intended results utilizing digital printing technology, trained and skilled staff must run digital printing equipment appropriately. Most digital textile printer manufacturers aim to supply digital ink and pigments at a much-reduced price to increase sales. Efforts to increase the supply of low-cost pigments and printer inks may counteract the global market’s suffocating influence.

Pre-Covid-19 impact on the global Fabric Printing Machine market

Before the pandemic, it was expected that a rapid rise in the demand for digital technology in textile printing for the garment and advertising industries and increasing demand for sustainable printing would have a significant beneficial impact on product demand.

Covid-19 impact on the global Fabric Printing Machine market

Many countries enacted lockdowns due to the COVID-19 outbreak, forcing customers to stay indoors. This significantly impacted the fashion and signs industries, with demand plummeting. The epidemic took a toll on several display graphics companies. The demand for novel fabrics has increased as the situation has stabilized. During the pandemic, digitally printed textiles outperformed the broader fabric market due to the capacity of digital printing to reduce cycle time.

Post Covid-19 impact on the global Fabric Printing Machine market

Following the epidemic, the rising demand for unique clothes among the millennial generation in the United States is expected to boost the market growth in the country. In addition, increased access to e-commerce portals for garment purchasing and increased imports of printed textiles into the country are expected to boost product demand over the projection period.

Type Segmental Analysis

Based on Type, the global Fabric Printing Machine market is classified into Rotary Screen Textile Printing, Automatic Flat Printing, Hand Screen Printing, Dye Sublimation Transfer Printing, Digital Textile Printing, Hybrid Textile Printing, and Others. The Digital Textile Printing segment is expected to hold a significant share in the global Fabric Printing Machine market during the forecast period by 2028. Any ink jet-based method of printing colorants into cloth is digital textile printing. Digital textile printing is most commonly used to describe the printing of printing smaller designs onto clothing or larger designs onto large format rolls of material. Advertisement and corporate branding are printed on polyester media, which is an increasing trend in visual communication. Figure: Global Fabric Printing Machine Market, by Type, Market Share, 2021
