Digital Printing Market Segment Analysis - By Ink Type
Digital printing market is segmented into Aqueous, Solvent, UV-cured, Latex, Dye sublimation and others. The UV- Cured ink type segment held the highest market share in 2020 at 36.2%. Moreover, it is anticipated to witness the significant market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. UV inks do not dry in the air. They don't have evaporative properties and don't need them. Like liquid plastics, they respond only to exposure to UV radiation, which allows the liquid to solidify. This ensures that approximately 100 % of the ink amount is used, which greatly decreases printing costs. Furthermore, since the ink does not dry until it is healed, it is possible to leave the printing cells with ink on them, even during the weekend, without the need for cleaning and without dried-on ink. UV inks provide other advantages such as being more environmentally sustainable than solvent-based inks, strong clarity, light-fastness, smearing tolerance, clear contrast and a pleasant gloss.

Laser print head type segment held a market share of digital printing in 2020 at 31.2%. Moreover, it is anticipated to witness the fastest market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increasing need for advanced printing technology to improve flexibility and performance of the whole workflow is a major factor driving the growth of laser printers. Laser printers had the luxury of providing bright, smooth black text and images in colour. Laser printers are capable of engendering a very excellent print and are non-impact printers with a countless set of fonts and are simplex in nature. Laser printers are both cost-effective and have high output speeds as opposed to the inkjet printers. Lasers can manage massive workload involving a printer suitable of servicing wider teams or projects. Lasers are getting increasingly available, and regular or super-sized pellets have an exceptional life cycle, producing excellent outcomes even on plain paper, and have become the cornerstone of work unit design.
