Global market for digital print for packaging to 2020

15 September 2015

According to a new report by Smithers Pira, the world market for digital print for packaging will grow by an average CAGR of 13.6% in constant value (real) terms to 2020, with print volume CAGR of 16.2% globally. Labels account for 80.5% of this value and 93.5% of the printed volume in 2015 but this is changing as new applications for cartons, corrugated, flexibles, rigid plastics and metal decorating are introduced.
Demand is fuelled by reductions in the average run length that makes digital technology increasingly cost-effective against existing analogue printed packaging. Within this sector there is also increasing legislative pressure (News Item Smithers Pira, 19 August 2015).
