tactile printing Market

The tactile printing market was valued at US$ 1,353.27 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 2,257.92 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2021 to 2028.

The players operating in the tactile printing market are experiencing significant demand for their products. However, for commercial and industrial grade tactile printing machines, cost is considered as a restraining factor for market growth. An industrial-scale UV inkjet printer can add 40% to 300% in capital expenses, while operating costs are high-especially for UV-based ink systems. Tactile printers may cost thousands of dollars per unit, depending on the scale of production. Moreover, they require regular maintenance for optimum performance that also involves the recurring costs for the users. Thus, the cost factor significantly hinders the tactile printing market growth, especially for personal usage.

In terms of geography, the tactile market is segmented into North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share in 2020, followed by North America and Europe. Further, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The tactile printing market is segmented on the bases of application and end-user. Based on application, the market is segmented into packaging & labels, tactile graphics, and secure documentation. The packaging & labels segment led the overall market in 2020. Based on end-user, the tactile printing market is segmented into Braille users, industrial, and government & defense. The Braille users segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2021-2028.

The COVID-19 outbreak crisis is adversely affecting the most of the industries across the world.

However, owing to the expected rise in demand from commercial and industrial users globally, the market growth is expected to normalize from third quarter of 2021 and continue to grow at a steady rate from 2021 to 2028.
