Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet heads are advanced printing components that use tiny mechanical systems to precisely control the release of ink droplets onto paper. These heads are fabricated using semiconductor manufacturing techniques, ensuring high precision and reliability. MEMS technology in inkjet heads enables finer print resolution and efficient ink usage, making it ideal for high-quality printing applications.
The main types of MEMS inkjet heads are continuous inkjet (CIJ) and random inkjet. Continuous inkjet (CIJ) technology involves a continuous stream of ink that is broken into droplets by a mechanical or acoustic device. The various applications include three-dimensional (3D) printing, packaging printing, building material printing, textile printing, consumer and office printing, among others, catering to varying end-uses such as commercial and industrial.

The micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet heads market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $0.97 billion in 2023 to $1 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising inclination towards digital printing, demand for high-resolution printing solutions, increasing usage of MEMS inkjet heads in multifunction printers, the growing trend towards environmentally friendly options, and expanding applications in emerging industries.
The micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet heads market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The projected growth can be attributed to the rising need for efficient printing solutions, increasing demand from the packaging industry, the growth of digital textile printing, demand for high-quality printing, and expansion into additive manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in printing technologies, the emergence of 3D printing technology, growth of IoT-enabled printing setups, environment-friendly printing processes, and advancements in microfabrication technology.
The expansion into additive manufacturing is anticipated to drive the growth of the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet head market in the future. Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is a process where three-dimensional objects are created by layering materials based on a digital model. This expansion is fueled by the capability to produce complex geometries and integrate functionally graded materials, which enhances customization, efficiency, and material utilization across various industries. MEMS inkjet heads play a crucial role in this process by allowing precise deposition of materials layer by layer, enabling high-resolution printing and the formation of intricate and detailed structures. For example, in July 2023, Protolabs, a US-based company specializing in rapid manufacturing of low-volume custom parts through 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, and injection molding, reported that 71% of businesses surveyed had increased their use of 3D printing in 2022 compared to 2021. Thus, the expansion into additive manufacturing is driving the MEMS inkjet head market.
Major companies in the MEMS inkjet heads market are developing advanced industrial inkjet printheads that offer increased precision, reliability, and efficiency for various applications, including textiles, packaging, and electronics printing. Industrial inkjet printheads are key components in inkjet printing systems, expelling ink droplets onto various substrates to create images, text, or codes. These systems utilize technologies such as thermal, piezoelectric, or valve jet mechanisms for high-speed and high-quality printing applications. For instance, in November 2021, Ricoh Company Ltd., a Japan-based imaging and electronics company, launched the Ricoh TH6310F, a thin-film piezoelectric industrial inkjet printhead designed for high-speed printing. It features a maximum ejection frequency of 80 kHz and supports both single-pass and multi-pass printing modes. This printhead employs advanced MEMS technology for precise ink jetting, making it suitable for various applications, particularly in the packaging and labeling industries.
In January 2022, Nano Dimension, a US-based electronic device company, acquired Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. for $18.1 million. This acquisition is aimed at enhancing Nano Dimension's specialized 3D printing and additive manufacturing capabilities. By integrating Global Inkjet Systems' advanced ink delivery technology and control electronics, Nano Dimension seeks to accelerate product development and improve the performance of 3D-printed electronics. Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. is a UK-based company that develops high-performance control electronics, software, and ink delivery systems, including MEMS inkjet heads such as piezo inkjet printheads and RediJet for industrial inkjet printing applications.
