Increasing innovations in digital technologies are being embedded into core value generation processes in businesses. Microprinting is being adopted on a large scale in organizations across several industry verticals. The key factors such as rules and regulations in the banking sector, the introduction of innovative products, expanding e-commerce sector, and increasing demand for anti-counterfeiting products are projected to witness an enormous growth during the forecast period. Further, technological advancement in microprinting technology and increasing demand for cost-effective printing technology are also one of the key factors responsible to encourage the market growth.
Analysis of Market Segments
The microprinting market is segmented into by substrate type (paper, plastic, metal), end-use industry (healthcare, education, government, BFSI, consumer electronics, packaging, transportation and logistics, others), applications (ID cards, labels, stamps, bank cheques, corporate, defence, others), colour (monochrome and colour), pattern (infrared ink marking, UV invisible marking, micro embossing, magnetic ink, special ink), print type (single-sided, double sided), and by region.
Based on substrate type, the microprinting market is segmented into Paper, Plastic, and Metal. Among these, the paper segment is expected to be the fastest growing category in the market. The paper sector is on high growth trajectory due to the high implementation of microprinting technology in paper banknotes, check slips, postage stamps, payment cards and ID cards to improve security and ease of identification.
Based on application, the microprinting market is segmented into ID cards, labels, stamps, bank cheques, corporate, defence, and others. Among these, ID cards are the most popular applications of microprinting, giving a further push to the market. Businesses and governments have been rapidly adopting the microprinting technique used for ID cards to control their misuse and prevent fraudulent activities.
Based on end-use industry, the microprinting market is segmented into healthcare, education, government, BFSI, consumer electronics, packaging, transportation & logistics, and others. Among these, the BFSI segment is projected to grow at the highest rate in the coming years, due to increasing adoption of microprinting technique in the BFSI sector to eliminate the duplication of currencies and checks.
