Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

The digital textile printing market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing popularity of UV-cured inks. These inks offer several advantages, including faster drying time, lower volatile organic compound (VOC) content, and the ability to print on various materials such as glass, vinyl, metals, and wood. UV-cured inks do not get absorbed by textiles, eliminating the risk of smudging and the need for additional coatings. Their properties include scratch and abrasion resistance, enhanced chemical and solvent resistance, no emissions, superior bonding, superior durability in outdoor spaces, and enhanced gloss. Furniture manufacturers are adopting UV-cured inks to save production time and increase volumes. The higher density achieved with UV-cured inks results in improved physical properties. Consequently, the trend towards UV-cured inks is expected to continue, driving the expansion of the global digital textile printing market. 

The Digital Textile Printing Market is experiencing significant growth due to trends like high-quality prints, antimicrobial and UV protective properties, conductive functionalities, and smart textiles. Businesses prioritize textile safety, waste disposal, and chemical usage, driving innovation in technology.
