FuturePrint Industrial Print, which takes place this week at Motorworld Munich (21st to 22nd January) inside the historic Kohlebunker, has officially sold out all exhibitor space ahead of its inaugural edition. The response reflects growing global demand for production-ready industrial inkjet technologies across packaging, décor, electronics, product customisation and functional manufacturing.
As FuturePrint Industrial Print sells out, reports are predicting that the global industrial inkjet printer market is projected to reach nearly USD12bn by 2034,
Organisers say that ‘the over-arching message this success signals is that industrial print is no longer simply an alternative imaging process: it is increasingly a manufacturing platform that can reshape how products are designed, produced and monetised’.
‘Crucially, industrial inkjet is now being adopted not only to improve efficiency, but to improve manufacturing economics. By removing tooling constraints, reducing set-up times, cutting waste and enabling late-stage differentiation, industrial inkjet technology is allowing companies to respond profitably to shorter runs, unlock premium pricing, protect margins and make complex, customised or functional products commercially viable at scale.’
‘For manufacturing performance, the real opportunity lies in what industrial inkjet makes possible. From mass customisation and digital inventory to functional integration and direct-to-product manufacturing, industrial inkjet is opening routes to new revenue streams, higher-value applications and entirely new business models. For converters and print businesses, this includes a pathway into manufacturing services and higher-margin industrial markets. For manufacturers, it enables faster product innovation, more responsive supply chains and the ability to monetise speed, flexibility and product differentiation.’
Industry analysts forecast strong sustained growth for the sector. Market research from Fortune Business Insights indicates that the global industrial inkjet printer market is projected to reach nearly USD12bn by 2034, driven by accelerating adoption across manufacturing, packaging, product decoration and industrial production environments. Against this backdrop, the sell-out highlights a market that is moving beyond pilots and proofs of concept, toward scalable deployment, strategic investment and measurable commercial impact.
