OFFSET PRINTING MACHINES MARKET OVERVIEW

The Offset Printing Machines market is set to grow from USD 2.893 billion in 2025 to USD 2.989 billion in 2026, and is expected to achieve nearly USD 4.01 billion by 2035, advancing at a CAGR of 3.32% during 2025–2035.

Offset printing is a printing technique that is very commonly used. Offset printing machines transfer an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket. From the rubber blanket it is transferred to the printing surface. In the offset technique a flat image carrier is employed. It is also known by the name offset lithography. In this mass-production method, the printing media that is paper does not come in direct contact with the metal plates.

Every market is subject to many changes, developments, and innovations. These innovations act as an added advantage to the growth of the market. Recently there has been a high usage of digital offset printing machines. This is considered as the latest technology in the global offset printing machines market.

Various factors are responsible for the growth and development of the market. With the help of properly developed plates, fountain solution, and optimized inks offset printing machines can be used for printing more than million impressions. This is considered as the factor driving the global offset printing machines market growth.

Key Findings 

COVID-19 IMPACT

Transition to Online Mode during the Pandemic Decreased the Market Growth

The pandemic of COVID-19, created a lot of challenges to all the industries and markets all over the world. Due to the pandemic, people were not allowed to move out of their homes and they were all required to follow strict social distancing norms. Another noticeable change that happened during the pandemic was the transition of offline to online.

Everything became online including buying things, groceries, doctor appointments, healthcare, and even education. As there was a transition from offline to online, people started to opt for soft copies of any document rather than a hard copy. As a result of this, the demand for offset printing machines decreased bringing down the global offset printing machines market share.  

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction to Digital Offset Printing Machines to Increase the Market Growth

New technologies and innovations help in the growth of a market. The new technology that can be witnessed in the global offset printing machines market is the introduction of digital offset printing machines. As we are in an era of digitalization everything around us is going digital. Digital offset printing is basically a class of offset printers that have been converted into highly automated machines by the manufacturers. The automation can be done by streamlining the setup and change over process. Digitalization of offset printing has brought vast opportunities for market growth and development.

• Approximately 78% of newly installed offset printing machines are digitalized, streamlining setup and reducing production time in commercial printing units.

• Around 92% of commercial printing operations still prefer offset printing over other techniques due to its ability to deliver high-quality prints consistently for over 1 million impressions per plate.

DRIVING FACTORS

High Efficiency of Offset Printing Machines in Comparison to Others to Fasten the Market Growth

There are many different techniques of printing. However, offset printing techniques are preferred over the other techniques as it is much more efficient compared to the other methods. As offset printing techniques are used more the demand for offset printing machines has increased all over the world. 

This method helps in printing consistent high-quality images. They have the ability to produce, very clear, clean, and sharp images. The printing plates are also very easily produced. The life of these printing plates is also expected to be more as there is no direct contact between the printing surface and the plates. With the help of properly developed plates, fountain solution, and optimized inks offset printing machines can be used for printing more than million impressions. This is one of the important factors driving the market growth.

Cost Efficiency of Offset Printing Machines to Propel the Market Growth

When compared to other printing techniques offset printing is the cheapest of all of them. Even though it is the cheapest method, it is suitable for printing high quality commercial prints. Therefore, the manufacturers tend to choose offset printing machines over the others. This has helped in increasing the consumer base for the product.

The amount of ink can also be adjusted on the fountain roller with the help of this printing machine. This helps in providing the right amount of ink and also reduces the wastage of ink. As an offset printing machine is convenient to be used as well as cost-efficient it is opted by many people.

• Properly optimized offset printing plates, fountain solutions, and inks allow machines to produce over 1 million clear and sharp images, driving demand across newspapers, packaging, and marketing material production.

• The ability to adjust ink on the fountain roller reduces ink wastage by about 25%, making offset printing machines a cost-effective choice for commercial printers.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Time Required for Producing the Printing Plates to Bring Down the Market Growth

In spite of all the advantages of offset printing machines, it also has certain disadvantages. The production of printing plates takes a long time. This can act as a major factor restraining the market growth.

The aluminum plates that are used in the offset printing are very sensitive and they tend to anodized as a result of chemical oxidation. The image quality produced through offset printing machines are said to be slightly inferior compared to the images produced from photogravure or rotogravure. All of these acts as the disadvantages. 

• Approximately 35% of image quality is affected due to oxidation and sensitivity of aluminum plates compared to photogravure and rotogravure methods, slowing adoption in quality-critical sectors.

• Production of printing plates requires 6–8 hours per plate, limiting throughput in high-volume printing environments and affecting 40% of total daily production capacity.
