The expansion into additive manufacturing is anticipated to drive the growth of the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet head market in the future. Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is a process where three-dimensional objects are created by layering materials based on a digital model. This expansion is fueled by the capability to produce complex geometries and integrate functionally graded materials, which enhances customization, efficiency, and material utilization across various industries. MEMS inkjet heads play a crucial role in this process by allowing precise deposition of materials layer by layer, enabling high-resolution printing and the formation of intricate and detailed structures. For example, in July 2023, Protolabs, a US-based company specializing in rapid manufacturing of low-volume custom parts through 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, and injection molding, reported that 71% of businesses surveyed had increased their use of 3D printing in 2022 compared to 2021. Thus, the expansion into additive manufacturing is driving the MEMS inkjet head market.

Leading companies in the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet heads market are advancing industrial inkjet printheads to improve printing speed, quality, and compatibility.
