Flexographic Printing Machine Global Market Report 2024

Description

A flexographic printing machine, also referred to as a flexo press or flexo printer, is a high-speed printing press extensively used in the printing industry, particularly for medium to long print runs, notably in label and packaging production. This technology employs flexible photopolymer printing plates to efficiently transfer images onto various surfaces.

Flexographic printing technology is widely utilized across diverse sectors, including packaging (for labels, corrugated boxes, and flexible packaging), newspapers, magazines, and various product labeling needs, owing to its versatility, speed, and ability to print on a range of substrates. Key types of flexographic printing machines include stack presses, in-line presses, unit common impression cylinder presses, and other variants. Stack presses arrange their printing units vertically, facilitating efficient color changes and maintenance. The market is further segmented by technology into semi-automatic and automatic machines, with capabilities to print on substances such as polyethylene, paper, and other printable materials. Applications include labels, packaging, print media, and other relevant areas.

The flexographic printing machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.69 billion in 2023 to $0.72 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth observed in the historic period can be credited to the progress in printing technology, cost efficiencies, rising demand for packaging solutions, environmental considerations, globalization, and the expansion of markets.

The flexographic printing machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.90 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. Forecasted growth is expected to stem from factors such as digitalization and integration with Industry 4.0 initiatives, increased demand for customization and personalization, a growing emphasis on sustainability efforts, and the emergence of new markets. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the adoption of hybrid printing solutions, heightened levels of automation and robotics, a focus on enhancing operational efficiency, the expansion of printing applications, the development of sustainable inks and substrates, and the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and connectivity into printing processes.

The burgeoning packaging industry is poised to drive significant growth within the flexographic printing machines market. Packaging encompasses the design, production, and distribution of materials and containers aimed at enclosing, protecting, and delivering products to consumers. This industry is experiencing rapid growth fueled by factors such as the exponential rise of e-commerce, evolving consumer preferences, and heightened health and safety concerns. Flexographic machines play a pivotal role in printing on a variety of packaging materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic films, and flexible packaging materials. For example, the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) reported a notable increase in the U.S. packaging industry from $34.8 billion in 2020 to $39 billion in 2021, underscoring the pivotal role of packaging in driving market growth.

Leading companies operating within the flexographic printing machine market are concentrating their efforts on the development of Flat-top dot technology, exemplified by products such as the nyloflex FTV Digital plate, to solidify their market position. The nyloflex FTV Digital plate harnesses Flat-top dot technology, a printing method that ensures uniform and consistent ink dots with flat, level surfaces, thereby enhancing print quality and detail. XSYS, a U.S.-based company specializing in the flexographic printing industry, introduced the nyloflex FTV Digital plate in March 2023, tailored for high-end flexible packaging applications. This innovative solution boasts inherent flat-top dot technology and a smooth plate surface optimized for flexographic printing on film substrates with solvent inks. It delivers exceptional print quality with fine highlight dots, reduces plate swelling, and offers extended durability on the press, thereby minimizing waste and enhancing operational efficiency.

In September 2022, Oasis Flower Plant for Plastic, a Saudi Arabia-based provider of PET preforms and HDPE closures, completed the acquisition of the Comexi F2 MB flexographic press for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Oasis Flower Plant for Plastic aimed to enhance its printing capabilities and meet the diverse needs of its clientele, particularly within the beverage sector. Comexi, a Spain-based printing machine manufacturer, offers cutting-edge technologies for flexible packaging printing, including flexographic printing, offset printing, and digital printing, aligning with Oasis Flower Plant for Plastic's strategic objectives to elevate its printing capabilities and expand its market reach.
