Global Digital Printing Packaging Market Set to Surpass USD 41.58 billion by 2031

United States of America- November 13, 2025 - The global Digital Printing Packaging market is growing rapidly as brand owners and converters shift from analog plate-based workflows to flexible, plate-less digital solutions that enable short runs, rapid turnarounds, mass personalization and lower waste. Independent market research firms place the market in a similar range for the mid-2020s, with multi-year compound annual growth rates commonly reported in the 6.5%-11% range depending on scope and methodology.

The digital printing packaging market size is projected to reach US$ 41.58 billion by 2031 from US$ 22.47 billion in 2024. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.2% during 2025-2031.

Market drivers

1. Demand for personalized & short-run packaging. Brands increasingly use variable-data printing and SKU differentiation (limited editions, regionally targeted designs) to increase engagement and sell-through economics of digital printing make short runs cost-effective.
2. E-commerce growth and right-sizing for fulfilment. E-commerce requires flexible, on-demand box and label printing; solutions such as on-demand right-sized, digitally printed corrugated boxes are lowering logistics and waste.
3. Sustainability and waste reduction mandates. Digital eliminates plates, reduces make-ready waste and supports localized production strategies that reduce transport emissions lifecycle assessments published by suppliers show meaningful reductions versus some analog workflows.
4. Faster press speeds + hybrid workflows. Advances in inkjet and imprinting modules allow digital to integrate with high-speed analog lines and deliver higher throughput, expanding the range of applications (corrugated, metal, flexible).

Market trends to watch

• Expansion into corrugated and metal packaging: single-pass inkjet systems (e.g., EFI Nozomi series) and metal-capable solutions are enabling digital adoption beyond labels and folding cartons.
• Hybrid (digital + analog) installations: converters are increasingly adding digital imprinting modules (Kodak Prosper, Kodak PROSPER S-Series) to existing lines to capture variable data and personalization without losing analog throughput.
• Smart & secure packaging integration: digital printing is being used for serialization, QR codes, authentication features and track-and-trace directly on primary and secondary packaging.
• Materials & ink innovations: growth in water-based, low-migratory inks suitable for food contact and broader substrate compatibility (flexible films, metallized substrates).

Opportunity factors (where investment and sales momentum are strongest)

• FMCG / cosmetics / premium beverages: brands with high SKU complexity and frequent promotions capture value from on-demand personalization and limited-edition packaging.
• E-commerce packaging on-demand: providers offering integrated print-cut- crease systems for right-sized, full-color boxes create value for retailers and 3PLs.
• Regional localized production: near-market micro-factories reduce lead times and inventory while improving responsiveness to local trends; attractive for companies aiming to shorten supply chains.
• Service & software stack (digital front ends, variable data tools): converters who bundle design/variable-data services, color management, and sustainability reporting can win higher margins.
Market risks & constraints
• CapEx for industrial single-pass or full-width systems remains significant for some converters; ROI depends on utilization and application mix.
• Substrate compatibility and regulatory ink requirements (e.g., food contact) require validated ink/polymer systems and can slow adoption in some categories.
• Fragmentation of data across vendors (proprietary color management/DXFs) can raise integration costs for converters seeking seamless workflows.
