       DUBLIN, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Global Digital Textile Printing Market by Printing Process (DTG/DTF, Roll-to-Roll), Ink Type (Acid, Pigment, Reactive), Application – Forecast 2024-2030″ . The digital textile printing market is expected to grow from US$4.4 billion in 2023 to US$4.6 billion in 2024. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 4.56% to reach US$6.02 billion by 2030. Unlike traditional textile printing methods that use screens or rollers to transfer designs, digital printing uses digital files, such as computer-aided design (CAD) files, to control the placement and coloration of inks on the textile surface. This process enables printing of complex designs with a high level of detail and colour variations. It enables short runs, custom printing and personalisation with efficient turnaround times.
       Because the technology eliminates the need for stencil preparation required for screen printing, it minimizes setup time and waste, earning it a reputation as a greener and more cost-effective alternative to traditional textile printing methods. Advances in printing technology, as well as sustainable and eco-friendly printing methods, have increased the demand for digital textile printing.
       In addition, the falling cost of digital printing coupled with increasing customization and personalization is further driving the growth of the market. However, the high initial cost of installing digital printing equipment and the need for skilled personnel to operate complex systems may act as a barrier to market growth. Environmental regulations regarding the disposal of dyes and inks are also affecting the market.
       However, the adoption of sustainable methods and materials, as well as the development of new inks that enhance the functionality of fabrics, are key areas for potential growth. To minimize waste and keep up with the fast fashion cycle, made-to-order designs are becoming increasingly popular.
