The growing digital engagemnt for reading materials, online news, educational websites and e-books is likely to hinder the market growth
The printing machine market is impacted by the growing digital engagemnt for reading materials, online news, educational websites and e-books, threatening the printing market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the printing and related activities industry is expected to decline by 19% between 2019 and 2029.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the printing machine industry have seen a notable impact as all the production work, factories and other activities were closed. As a result, production was hindered by halts and supply chain disruption globally. After the pandemic, the governments still impose various restrictions, such as working with half the workforce and fewer operating hours hindering the production cycle of the market. The losses are incorporated with less demand from the textile, publication, automotive and other printing industries. However, the market is expected to recover after the pandemic, with sectors aiming to work with higher production rates to recover from the incorporated losses.
Printing Machine Market Segment Analysis
By operation, the printing machine market is broadly classified into automatic, semi-automatic and manual machines.
The automatic printing machines are expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2027)
Automatic printing machines are expected to hold the largest market for printing machine market and are expected to continue their dominance in the forecast period. The increasing production rate and advancement in textile, paper and other printing industries create the demand for efficient printing machines with high precision. The automatic printing machine is equipped with a PLC module and touch screen and the machine operation can be automatically controlled according to time and quantity. At present, printing technology is moving to the automation, high-precision system through the printing quality and needs of mass production. In 2019, Massivit upgraded its 1800 Pro 3D printing machine with improved resolution features such as Mega Quality mode, Variable resolution capability and remote monitoring for cost-effective and reliable production and repeatability.
The automatic printing machine is also gaining importance because of rising labour prices by 25% and replacement for this age-old technique. The automatic printing machine offers good color performance and printing adaptability for plastic, metal, sporting goods, and glass products compared to manual machines. Moreover, the screen version of the machine can be adjusted in size, which eliminates the use of a machine-printed screen frame.
