Inkjet Marking Equipment Market Report Overview

The global inkjet marking equipment market size was valued at approximately USD 3.38 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.85 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.3% from 2025 to 2033.

An inkjet marking equipment is a kind of printing press that prints text, graphics, or images onto paper using an inkjet head. Small ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper by the inkjet head, and after that, impressions are made by pressing a metal plate on the paper. In comparison to other types of printers, inkjet printers are quick, effective, and inexpensive. They are also adaptable and useful for a wide range of tasks, including printing labels on goods or documents.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Disrupted Supply Chain to Impede Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with inkjet marking experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The market for inkjet marking equipment was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply of raw materials and the movement of completed goods were impacted by the lockdowns that were enacted around the world as a precaution to stop the virus's spread. The supply of the inks used in marking equipment was also impacted by the temporary closure of plants in China.

LATEST TRENDS

"Technological Advancements to Advance Market Share"

Over the forecast period, improvements in software and technology to regulate mechanical systems, the thickness of the ink, and avoid print head stumbling are anticipated to play a significant role in promoting the adoption of the newest coding and marking tools. In 2020, the continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer segment dominated the market, and this trend is anticipated to hold true throughout the forecast period. Continuous inkjet printers' simplicity of use, increased versatility, and fast printing are positive factors for the segment's expansion.
