Market Trends of Digital Textile Printing Industry
The Garment and Apparel Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Share in the Market
- Since its inception, garment and clothing printing techniques have advanced significantly. The most recent printing method for apparel and accessories is digital textile printing. Digital fabric printing transfers designs or images kept in a digital format into the fabric using computer-controlled printers. Designers and makers may produce complex patterns quickly and simply due to technology.
- The market for textile printing has traditionally placed a high priority on sustainability and textile waste. According to the United Nations, the fashion industry is heavily reliant on digital technology, which contributes approximately 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
- Due to shifting the textile design process domestically, digital textile printing has increased the speed of production and lowered shipping expenses, which enables designers to make smaller fabric test runs and waste less while finalizing the fabric, which also reduces excessive waste in the design process.
- Moreover, with cutting-edge digital textile printing technology, most digital textile printing businesses in China have begun to build advanced digital textile printing equipment in response to the demand for limitless color combinations and color accuracy.
- Furthermore, demand for digital textile printing solutions in the garment and apparel segment is expected to be anticipated to increase due to changing consumer behavior, increased urbanization, faster adaptability, shorter life cycles of fashion designs, and higher disposable income during the forecast period.
