Market Overview and Dynamics
The Europe digital printing packaging market is expected to grow from US$ 3,850.28 million in 2022 to US$ 6,900.87 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2022 to 2028. The use of digitally printed smart labels has increased in recent years due to a surge in demand for customized packaging, superior sustainability, and the need to help products stand out in the market. Labels are important sources of information. Companies print smart labels on packaging to provide instructions for consumers to ensure proper recycling and reduce wastage in the post-purchase phase, thereby improving the end-life recycling of the packaging. Furthermore, smart labels are essential in differentiating between real and counterfeit goods. Nowadays, the application of variable data, such as barcodes and QR codes in packaging, is increasing in various companies. Through the random QR code technology, each product is attached with a unique “ID card” to realize anti-counterfeiting traceability and achieve the brand's online and offline two-way connection with consumers. Additionally, with increasing technological advancements, smart labels complementing current labels are expected to provide great benefits in terms of recyclability and giving consumers correct information on the product and its packaging. Therefore, the increasing usage of smart labeling is expected to propel the Europe digital printing packaging market growth during the forecast period.
Key Market Segments
Based on ink type, the Europe digital printing packaging market is segmented into solvent-based, UV-based, aqueous, and others. In 2021, the solvent-based segment held the largest share of the market; however, the aqueous segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Aqueous inks are composed of pigment, resin, and water. Aqueous inks use water as a carrier and organic cosolvents. This type of ink is considered nontoxic and safe for general, domestic, and industrial applications. The ink has minimal or no odor during or after printing. Further, it is expensive compared to solvent-based inks.
Based on packaging type, the Europe digital printing packaging market is segmented into corrugated, folding cartons, flexible packaging, labels, and others. The corrugated segment held the largest share in 2021; however, the flexible packaging segment is expected to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Flexible packaging is any package whose shape can be changed when filled with other substances or during use. Flexible packaging is produced from paper, plastic, film, aluminum foil, or any combination of those materials. It includes bags, pouches, liners, wraps, rollstock, and other flexible products. Digital printing on flexible packaging negates the need for labels and cardboard inserts.
Based on end-use industry, the Europe digital printing packaging market is segmented into food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, and others. The food and beverage segment held the largest share in 2021; however, the personal care and cosmetics segment is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2028. Consumers are concerned about value addition and differentiation in the food & beverages industry, and they demand security for the transportation of food and beverage products. In Europe, consumers are focusing on purchasing food and beverages with flexible packaging solutions, along with informative labels, without compromising the food's quality or safety. Hence, manufacturers are adopting solvent-based inks for digital printing packaging for the food & beverage industry.
