Market research shows future is bright for UV inkjet

According to Allied Market Research, the global UV curable ink market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach $4.5 billion by 2031, yielding a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.68 percent. UV printing technology offers today’s print service providers (PSPs) several important advantages: First, the ability to print directly on a wide range of natural and synthetic media, and on thicker, curved, and cylindrical objects, making it an extraordinarily versatile customization and personalization platform.

Also, when compared to other production methods, the simplified setup and swift ink curing of UV machines saves time, while low VOC emissions make them more environmentally friendly. In addition, UV machines and their specially formulated inks produce prints that are incredibly durable, flexible, and scratch resistant. Inkjet manufacturers are responding to the surging demand for UV print with a suite of machine options, ranging from desktop printers to five-meter grand-format presses. New ink sets, accessories, and software complete the offerings, making UV printing more accessible and versatile than ever before.
