The expansion of the automotive sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the finishing lines market in the coming years. The automotive sector encompasses the production and sale of vehicles, including both traditional and electric models. Automotive body shops and repair centers commonly apply coatings based on polyurethane, acrylic, or alkyd formulations as refinishing materials. Within the automotive industry, finishing lines are used to complete components such as bumpers, dashboards, and other vehicle parts. For instance, in April 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, around 14 million new electric cars were registered worldwide in 2023, an increase of 3.5 million compared to 2022, reflecting a 35% year-on-year rise and representing nearly 18% of total car sales, up from 14% in 2022. As a result, the expanding automotive sector is contributing to the continued growth of the finishing lines market.

Leading companies in the finishing lines market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as modular digital finishing and embellishment systems, to improve production flexibility, shorten turnaround times, and increase the overall value of printed outputs. Modular digital finishing and embellishment systems are adaptable, plug-and-play post-printing solutions that allow manufacturers to add, remove, or upgrade finishing modules according to requirements, enabling rapid adjustment to varied jobs, reduced setup times, and improved product quality with minimal downtime. For example, in September 2023, GM (Grafisk Maskinfabrik), a Denmark-based manufacturer of finishing equipment, introduced its DC350Flex+ wine finishing line at Labelexpo Europe 2023. This launch featured a modular, high-pressure foiling and embellishment system developed for premium label production. The system combines hot stamping and embossing, screen and flexo varnishing, lamination, and semi-rotary die-cutting within a compact, digitally controlled platform. It can operate inline with digital presses or as a standalone unit, offering quick changeovers and optional laser die-less finishing. The DC350Flex+ is designed for wine, spirits, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and specialty packaging applications that demand high-value decorative and functional enhancements. Key benefits of the launch include increased throughput, reduced setup expenses, greater consistency, and enhanced capabilities for producing premium labels.
