The global thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) equipment market size was USD 336.5 million in 2022 and will touch USD 492.4 million by 2028, at CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting TTO Equipment Market is a market that deals with the thermal transfer of overprinted images onto a substrate. The process involves heating the image with tape and transferring it to paper, plastic or other materials. This can be done by hand or with machine printing equipment such as thermal printers (thermographic equipment).

The factors driving the growth of the market are the increasing need for high-quality printing and the number of companies adopting this technology. Factors such as increasing demand for high-quality printing solutions and the proliferation of digital printing technologies in various industries are behind this growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The pandemic has caused disruptions in supply chains, manufacturing and retail, reducing consumer spending and demand for non-essential items such as wardrobes. Closures and social distancing have also limited shopping opportunities and are further affecting sales and distribution channels. As a result, market demand and revenue for thermal transfer overlay printing equipment declined during the pandemic. While markets may eventually recover as the situation improves, the immediate impact of COVID-19 on global markets has been overwhelmingly negative.
