Variable Data Printing Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  •  Rising Need for Faster Printing- Increased use of printed labels to generate sequential numbers and product information in less time and at a lower cost drives variable data printing market growth. Moreover, the new launch by companies plays a vital role in the various applications of the variable data printing industry. For instance, Canon has introduced a new version of its online design software to create posters, banners, and panels. PosterArtist v1.1 is suitable for both purposes including personal as well as professional use since it provides two-sided and variable printing and new templates to support the creation of various applications.
  • Growing E-Commerce Industry Supports Market Growth - The growth of online shopping and the demand for personalized experiences increased the demand for commercial printing from the packaging sector. Packaging is considered an important marketing tool, so many companies use packaging to showcase the best features of their products. For instance, flexible packaging service provider Comexi announced that Digiflex is a machine designed for flexible packaging and label makers to convert variable data such as QR codes, variable data matrix codes, barcodes, and alphanumeric text.
  • Growing Printing Industry- The printing industry is evolving rapidly. Also, the VDP service has matured over the years, allowing the creation of eye-catching documents faster than ever before. What was once the realm of transactional printing is now an extension of marketing.

Challenges

  • Lack of efficient digital software that can work with variables and generate print-ready designs - The biggest challenge for variable data printing is the lack of efficient digital software that can efficiently manipulate variables and produce print-ready designs while providing advanced design editing capabilities. The prevalence of personalization has allowed variables to be used in many different types of marketing materials. However, the design of these materials is just as important, resulting in an automated print validation process.
  • Low R&D in the variable data printing sector
  • High cost of printing systems

Variable Data Printing Segmentation

Composition (Facestock, Topcoat)

By the end of 2037, the facestock segment in the variable data printing market is anticipated to garner the largest revenue share. Facestock is amongst the material that includes both ink on one side and adhesive on the other side, making up the heart of the label construction. Just as there are different label adhesives, there are facestock made from different materials including synthetic stock, polyimide, and polypropylene. The demand for facestock is expected to grow owing to growing printing concerns among the end user across the globe.

Printing Technology (Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal, Electrophotographic, Inkjet)

By the end of 2037, the inkjet segment in the variable data printing market is projected to dominate revenue share. Variable data printing is a fully digital piezo inkjet printing system designed for marking, coding, and serializing blister foils. Print codes and variable data in black and white on aluminum foil, paper, PVC, Tyvek, and other web materials using the latest solvent-free UV curable inks. The system can be easily integrated with continuous or intermittent motion packaging machinery, making it ideal for use in the pharmaceutical environment.
