According to a report by Pira, an authoritative consultancy in the global packaging, printing and paper industry, the global inkjet printing market in 2011 was approximately $33.4 billion and is expected to reach $67.3 billion by 2017.

According to the report, the main reason for the continued growth of the inkjet printing market is its outstanding performance in a variety of applications. It is closely linked to the market and is used in various industries. According to the chart, the future is in books, magazines, labels , In the field of printing such as billing and packaging, inkjet printing technology will be more widely used. At present, inkjet printing has only a small market share in the global printing industry, but at the time of the current traditional printing challenges, inkjet printing has experienced rapid growth, and has attracted a large number of manufacturers involved in this industry. It is reported that the amount of inkjet printing in 2017 is expected to account for 1% of the total printing volume in the world, and the market size is about 7%. Signage is currently the largest application market for inkjet printing technology, accounting for 57% of the 2011 inkjet printing market. But with the expansion of the market share of books, bills, direct mail, packaging and label printing, the sign printing market will continue to decrease. At the same time, the great potential shown in the field of high-speed inkjet printing and its wide application in books, newspapers, magazines, direct mail and other fields have attracted more and more printing equipment suppliers. Take HP as an example. In 2011, the total amount of printed materials produced by HP high-speed inkjet printers reached 8 billion printed sheets, an increase of 459% over 2010. This shows that the high-speed inkjet printing market has broad prospects. (Editor: Wang Xuebin)
