简介目录
Product Code: 67446

The flexographic printing market was valued at USD 19.80 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 20.94 billion in 2026 to reach USD 27.71 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.76% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

Flexographic Printing - Market - IMG1

Rising e-commerce volumes, stringent food-contact regulations, and continuous improvements in AI-enabled press automation are expected to uphold this momentum in the flexographic printing market. Equipment vendors are optimizing narrow-web and digital-hybrid presses to serve brands that juggle shorter SKU life cycles, while converters intensify water-based ink adoption to comply with global VOC thresholds. Growing demand for sustainable corrugated logistics, together with investments in rapid plate-mounting and inspection systems, keeps the flexographic printing market well placed against competing lithography and gravure methods. Asia-Pacific's manufacturing capacity, paired with government incentives for circular packaging, further cements the region's leadership role in the flexographic printing market.

Global Flexographic Printing Market Trends and Insights

Brand-owner Demand for Shorter SKU Cycles

Consumer preferences now turn over faster than ever, pushing brand managers to refresh packaging artwork frequently. Converters respond by leaning on narrow-web presses that complete plate changes in minutes, curbing downtime and material waste. Solutions such as the Onyx GO deliver active register control that lowers setup scrap by 30%. Shorter runs also let retailers pilot seasonal editions without carrying surplus inventory, reducing the working-capital burden throughout the flexographic printing market. In parallel, cloud-based workflow software accelerates artwork approvals, ensuring that new designs progress from concept to shelf within weeks.

Cost-Effective Long-Run Package Printing

Where volumes exceed millions of impressions, flexography still offers the lowest unit cost. Photopolymer plates last hundreds of thousands of cycles, while energy-efficient dryers reduce operating expenses. DuPont's Orion case illustrates 30% solvent savings after migrating from gravure to flexo, along with safer shop-floor conditions. Such economics keep legacy consumer-goods lines anchored in the flexographic printing market, preserving press utilization and spare-parts sales for OEMs. Asian converters, often running three shifts, maximize these cost advantages to meet export-driven demand.

Digital Inkjet Cannibalisation in Short Runs

Advances in piezo-electric heads and aqueous dispersion inks enable variable data and near-offset image quality at competitive click rates. Pharmaceutical packagers integrate digital lines with ERP software to produce country-specific leaflets on demand, cutting inventory to zero. In response, the flexographic printing market is pivoting to hybrid presses that merge in-line inkjet stations with conventional units, preserving established finishing workflows while adding serialization capability.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Water-Based Ink Adoption for Food Contact Compliance
  2. Shift Toward Sustainable Corrugated Logistics
  3. Volatile Photopolymer Plate Prices

Segment Analysis

Digital-hybrid presses lifted their share of new installations as converters sought one line that could alternate between mass-production mode and personalized batches. Although narrow-web machines secured 30.52% of revenue in 2025, the hybrid cohort is on course for 9.09% CAGR, well above the overall flexographic printing market. Typical configurations combine 10-color flexo decks for brand colors with CMYK inkjet bars placed just before the rewinder. Such set-ups reduce job changeover time to under five minutes, keeping lines profitable even when average order quantities fall below 5,000 linear m. Medium-web lines remain favored in tissue overwraps and snack wrappers, while wide-web CI flexo retains dominance in stand-up pouches. Sheet-fed presses serve folding cartons that require precise die-cutting stations downstream.

Converters equipping themselves with modular platforms can later bolt on corona treaters, chill rolls, or second inkjet bars as client mixes evolve. The SapphireLUCE exemplifies this modular path, pairing 1200 X 1200 DPI resolution with speeds of 150 mpm. Service-level agreements often bundle predictive-maintenance analytics, shrinking unplanned downtime below 2% of available hours. These feature sets sustain pricing power for OEMs, even as the broader flexographic printing market experiences competitive pressure from refurbished presses in emerging economies.

Water-based systems commanded 40.42% revenue in 2025 thanks to low odour and direct-food-contact approval in most jurisdictions. They form the baseline chemistry for corrugated boxes, folding cartons, and paper wraps. UV-curable inks, however, are projected to register 8.28% CAGR through 2031 because they support higher line speeds and excellent scratch resistance on non-porous films. Energy-curable solutions require compact LED lamps that draw 65% less power than mercury arc units, reducing plant electricity bills. Solvent variants, constrained by tightening VOC caps under the US EPA Part 59 ruling, continue to cede share. Electron-beam curables remain a niche at under 2% penetration but show promise in dairy lidding and aseptic cartons.

Ink suppliers differentiate through pigment dispersion stability, rheology control, and low-migration additive packages. INX International's GelFlex EB ink removes lamination in certain snack applications, dropping gauge weight and cutting foil usage. Such innovations echo the broader sustainability narrative resonating throughout the flexographic printing market.
