Middle East and Africa Industrial Inkjet Printers Market Analysis and Opportunities by 2028

The Middle East & Africa industrial inkjet printers market is expected to grow from US$ 398.26 million in 2021 to US$ 467.45 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2021 to 2028.

Industrial inkjet printing involves using inkjet technology to print or deposit materials as part of the manufacturing process of a product on a production line. The idea is similar to that of a desktop inkjet printer, but the scale is vastly different in terms of machine size and speed, as well as the diversity of fluids that must be deposited. For labelling and coding the product, industrial inkjet printers are used. Middle East & Africa includes countries such as South Africa, UAE, Saudi Arabia and the rest of Middle East & Africa. The region contributes to the growth of industrial inkjet printer market owing to the diversification of the application base. The continuous developments have had a positive impact on the economy that has advanced to a large extent. Also, an increase in demand for packaging will positively impact the region’s industrial inkjet printer market.    

In case of COVID-19, in Middle East & Africa, especially South Africa, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of industrial inkjet printers manufacturing activities. Downfall of other consumer goods manufacturing sectors has negatively impacted the demand for industrial inkjet printers during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall industrial manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of industrial inkjet printers manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for industrial inkjet printers. Similar trend was witnessed in other Middle East & Africa countries, i.e., UAE and Saudi Arabia. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East & Africa industrial inkjet printers market. Flexible packaging allows better transportation of the packaged goods and enables customizable designs and a better life span for the packaged goods. As per the Industrial inkjet printers were initially designed to use in the marking and coding applications in packaging. The inkjet printing on flexible packaging helps maintain the quality of imprinted images and enhances the overall graphic representation during the phases such as manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and the final use of the product. Various advancements in printing techniques, such as better ink formulation, improved resins deployment, and high-performance printing equipment, help inkjet printer manufacturers enhance the printer performance. These developments have enabled industrial inkjet printers to meet the performance standards associated with the flexible packaging materials. For instance, Marabu is involved in the production and supply of water-based inkjet inks. The inks are used in the printing on flexible packaging for food and beverages products as well as consumer goods, such as cardboard boxes, toys, and wallpapers.
