FAIRFIELD, N.J., Dec. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire – PRWeb/ Keypoint Intelligence published a market prediction for direct to garment (DTG), printers, for the years 2021-2026. This forecast covers devices that are used for DTG printing. It includes devices with multiple platens, including printers with toner transfer (EP), which compete in the entry-level commercial sector. In the forecast deliverables, there is also a pivot table that includes figures for direct-to-film (DTF).
Direct-to-garment printing refers to the process of printing directly on textiles or garments using inkjet technology. Print transport and inkjet-deposition elements are two common solutions that allow you to print on garments when they are finished.
Based on placement data from key vendors and analysis of machine capabilities in industrial and commercial environments, the 2021 market for DTG printers was established. Based on market trends, the forecast for 2026 can be broken down into the following regions:
The world was free from the COVID-19 pandemic at the time of data collection and forecasting. However, there is still economic disruption as the global economy struggles for a new start. The global supply chain and shipping disruptions continue impacting supplies of consumables, parts and garments. Additionally, labor shortages are disrupting normal business operations.
“In 2021 the world’s first direct-to-garment printing reached its peak $10.5 Billion In print value and is expected reach $21.3 billion “By 2026,” claims Johnny Shell, Principal Analyst at Keypoint Intelligence. “Digitally printed garments were printed in 958 million units worldwide, at a projected 16.8% CAGR through 2026.”
One trend that has been noted is the integration of workflow automation with online markets (Amazon, Shopify, etc.). This is made available by both OEMs and third party providers, which can cloud the competitive landscape. The speed gap between industrial and commercial mid-level printers is shrinking, and faster industrial high level DTG printers are proving that digital printing is not too slow. The global ecommerce market is growing at a steady pace. By 2025, it will account for 24.5% of the total. Additionally, digitally printed apparel is continuing to grow in the ecommerce direction.
