The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in packaging and label printing demand, rising adoption of digital printing in branding, expansion of e commerce driven packaging needs, increasing investments in smart printing presses, demand for sustainable printing solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of digital and inkjet printing technologies, growing demand for packaging focused printing equipment, increasing shift toward automated and autonomous printing systems, expansion of short run and on demand printing capabilities, focus on energy efficient and low waste printing machinery.

The expansion of e-commerce is expected to drive the growth of the printing machinery and equipment market going forward. E-commerce involves the buying and selling of goods and services online. Rising demand for customized packaging, branded materials, and on-demand printing in e-commerce businesses increases the need for high-quality, fast-turnaround digital printing machinery, enhancing brand visibility and customer experience. For example, in August 2023, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, U.S. retail e-commerce sales in Q2 2024 reached $291.6 billion, marking a 1.3% increase from the previous quarter and a 6.7% rise from the same period in 2023. Total retail sales were estimated at $1.82 trillion, reflecting a 0.5% increase from Q1 and a 2.1% year-over-year increase, with e-commerce accounting for 16% of total sales. Therefore, the growth of e-commerce is fueling the printing machinery and equipment market.

Major companies in the printing machinery and equipment market are focusing on developing advanced machinery, such as 3D printing systems, to enhance product offerings and achieve market leadership. A 3D printing machine creates three-dimensional objects by depositing successive layers of materials such as plastic, metal, or resin. For instance, in June 2023, Schaeffler Special Machinery, a Germany-based manufacturer of customer-specific machinery and systems, introduced advanced multi-material 3D printing systems. This innovative technology enables the production of highly precise 3D-printed parts by combining metals and ceramics, allowing customers to explore novel material combinations, incorporate new functionalities into components and tools, and achieve greater design flexibility for their products.
