In the ink type segment, the UV ink sub-segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
The utilization of UV ink in digital printing for the tableware market is propelled by its distinctive characteristics and advantages that align with the specific requirements of embellishing and personalizing a variety of tableware items, such as ceramics and porcelain. UV ink incorporates photoinitiators that, when subjected to ultraviolet light, trigger a rapid curing or drying process. This swift curing period is critical for maintaining high-speed production in digital printing for tableware. UV inks demonstrate robust adhesion properties, guaranteeing that the ink adheres firmly to the surface of ceramic and porcelain materials. This adhesion results in durable and long-lasting prints that can endure washing and everyday use.
In application segment, the Ceramic and porcelain segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
Ceramics and porcelain are two of the most popular substrates for digital printing in the tableware market. These materials are known for their durability, scratch resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for use in food service applications. Additionally, ceramic and porcelain have a smooth, glossy surface that provides excellent printability, allowing for high-quality, detailed designs to be printed. Digital printing for ceramic and porcelain tableware empowers manufacturers to adorn their products with intricate, high-quality designs using cutting-edge printing technology. This modern printing method has gained substantial traction in the tableware industry due to its ability to deliver customization, detailed graphics, and streamlined production processes. Leveraging inkjet printing technology, digital printing for ceramic and porcelain tableware enables the precise and meticulous transfer of images directly onto the surface of the tableware items. Specially formulated inks, often UV-curable, are employed in the digital printing process. These inks exhibit rapid curing properties when exposed to ultraviolet light, ensuring efficiency throughout the production line.
