Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of uv-curable and latex printing technologies, rising demand for customized large-scale visual displays, growing integration of high-speed and high-resolution printing systems, expansion of textile and apparel printing applications, enhanced focus on eco-friendly printing solutions.
The growth of the e-commerce industry is anticipated to significantly boost the large format printers market in the coming years. E-commerce involves the exchange of goods and services or the transfer of money and data over electronic networks, primarily the Internet. Large-format printers are crucial to the e-commerce sector, as they facilitate the production of striking, high-resolution product images, banners, and promotional materials for online listings, thereby enhancing visual appeal, increasing customer engagement, and ultimately driving sales. For example, reports from the United States Census Bureau, a U.S. government agency, indicate that in the second quarter of 2024, U.S. retail e-commerce sales increased by 1.3% from the previous quarter, reaching $291.6 billion. Additionally, total retail sales rose by 0.5% to $1.82 trillion, with e-commerce sales up by 6.7% compared to Q2 2023. Consequently, the expansion of the e-commerce sector is fueling the growth of the large format printers market.
The introduction of new technologies in the large format printer market is a significant trend among many companies in this sector. To remain competitive, firms must continually launch innovative products. For example, in September 2024, Canon Inc., a Japan-based company specializing in medical equipment, cameras, office multifunction devices, laser and inkjet printers, and lithography equipment, unveiled the imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 and TX Series printers. These models incorporate advanced image processing technology and magenta ink, which enhances color reproduction and delivers vibrant print quality even on plain paper, making them suitable for a wide range of printing applications, including architectural and engineering designs. Their importance lies in their ability to boost productivity through high-speed printing capabilities, minimize downtime with smart paper detection features, and promote eco-friendliness by reducing energy consumption and plastic usage.
In April 2023, Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM) made a strategic acquisition of the Sapphire XC large-format printer from Velo3D, enhancing its 3D printing capabilities. Velo3D is a leading provider of fully integrated metal 3D printing solutions in the United States. This acquisition positions KAM to expand its capabilities in the evolving landscape of 3D printing.
