Key Digital Textile Printing Market Driver The increasing number of trade show exhibits is a key factor driving growth in the digital textile printing market. As a result of its pleasing appearance and ease of installation, soft signage is often used at trade shows. A growing number of trade exhibitions are being held annually as face to-face marketing, establishing relationships with prospective clients, and making an impact on prospects is becoming increasingly important. The most common trade show locations are keynotes, luncheons, registration, outdoor convention center displays, hall entry, conference rooms, and show directories. A faster production rate is driving the global demand for digital signages since soft signages can be printed with various designs and are inexpensive compared with hard signages. Global tradeshows are expected to increase rapidly in the next few years, boosting demand for digital textile printing.
Key Digital Textile Printing Market Trend A growing importance of UV-cured inks also contributes to the growth of the digital textile printing market share. As a result of the shorter drying time and lower volatile organic compounds (VOC)} content of ultraviolet (UV)-cured inks, the demand for UV-cured ink is increasing immensely. As a result, UV-cured ink can be used to print on glass, vinyl, metals, and wood. UV-cured ink contains a variety of properties, such as scratch and abrasion resistance, enhanced chemical and solvent resistance, no emission, superior bonding, superior outdoor durability, and enhanced gloss. The advantages of UV-cured inks have led to an increase in their application areas. UV-cured inks are being adopted by furniture makers to reduce production time and increase production. In addition, UV-cured inks have a higher density, which results in better physical properties. The market for digital textile printing is likely to grow during the forecast period due to the move toward UVcured inks.
