Digital printing produces higher-quality prints than traditional printing. To print all of the colors, only one pass is necessary. Thanks to digital printing technology, changes can be made even at the last minute before printing. Because there is no need for water, photo chemicals, or pre-press processes, digital printing packaging is considered an environmentally sustainable printing procedure.
There is a high demand for digital printing packaging from various industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and electrical & electronics.
An increase in the funds for research and development activities by developed countries is one of the key factors that are expected to provide potential opportunities for the growth of digital printing for the packaging market in the coming years.
On the contrary, factors such as variations in the costs of raw materials are expected to hamper the market growth in the forthcoming years.

Digital printers provide printing with more efficiency and better quality printing than the conventional printing method. Therefore, the demand for digital printing packaging is expected to rise during the forecast period.
In addition, the low operating cost of digital printing attracts many customers, one of the key factors expected to boost the digital printing packaging industry over the analysis period.
The demand for digital printing packaging is growing due to its capacity to produce short print runs economically. Printing on demand is helping to reduce waste, which ensures that changes in new packaging and graphic designs may not result in unused stock.
Significant technological developments in inkjet and electrophotography printing technologies indicate that digital printing is emerging as one of the cost-effective as well as easily accessible methods for printing.
Sustainable printing helps to reduce the impact on the environment. It makes use of recycled and renewable resources. Process-free plates such as cold press plates are used, which help eliminate volatile compounds, owing to which the usage of digital printing is increasing. Unlike conventional printing, digital printing does not use film plates or photo chemicals, eliminating the pre-press stages between the digital document file and the final print.
The use of digital printers prevents the replacement of plates and eventually saves time and resources. This method of printing can improve the green credentials of any company.
Digital presses, moreover, do not emit harmful emissions, so they do not need the ventilation required for offset presses. This eases their overall energy consumption. Also, as sustainable printing makes use of recycled resources, digital presses make use of a wide range of recycled substrates for printing. In addition to that, cost efficiency is further estimated to cushion the growth of digital printing for the packaging market.
Over the past few decades, the printing industry has faced tremendous pressure to deliver high-quality prints at a lower cost. The fluctuations in the prices of raw materials have caused an unfavorable impact on the profitability of the printing industry. Paper, ink, and other materials comprise about 30% of the total cost.
The variations in the costs of the raw materials are a crucial factor expected to hinder the growth of the digital printing for packaging market during the forecast period. In addition, the agreement with the strict guidelines might further challenge the growth of the digital printing for packaging market soon.
Packaging and printing regulations ensure that the printing practices undertaken have a reduced environmental impact. Stringent printing regulations in Europe, such as the European environmental legislative framework, ensure that the emissions of volatile organic compounds are under control. The European printing industry is also committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and helping reduce the carbon footprint. The European Timber Regulation that came into existence in 2013 ensures that the paper products used in printing are not derived from illegal logging.
The United States Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Food and Drug Cosmetics Act ensure that the ink used for printing on food packaging is manufactured under good manufacturing practices and is safe to use. According to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the ink used for printing on food packaging needs to adhere to the food additive regulations as printing ink is considered a food additive.
