At the beginning of this article, I would like to quote a passage from McKinsey & Company. "The past year will be the most challenging year in the history of the fashion and apparel industry. This year, textile and apparel sales have fallen, customer behaviors are complex and changeable, and supply chains have been disrupted. Except for the humanitarian crisis that affected billions of people. , The new crown virus has become another catalyst to exacerbate the economic crisis."

  This year's textile and apparel industry can be described as a twists and turns. The peak season in the first half of the year has doubled the confidence of industry insiders, but the ensuing limited production cuts and epidemic turmoil have made manufacturers feel confused. There is no lack of unscrupulous media advocating the epidemic situation, causing panic in the industry. Here, Nanjing Rainbow Digital conveys several development trends in the digital printing industry through this article, and cheers on the industry!

Several development trends of digital printing:


1. Sublimation -category textile printing has a considerable increase

This year, under the normalization of the epidemic market, the printing of sub-categories of textiles has benefited from the epidemic. For example, the antibacterial textile market, whose market value in 2020 is 8.1 billion US dollars, is expected to reach a compound annual growth rate of 12.8% by 2027. The nonwovens market, worth 40 billion U.S. dollars in 2020, is expected to reach a compound annual growth rate of 6% by 2025. Looking at the current global situation, the epidemic will become normal. This is also the reason why many digital printing companies have transformed their production of mask printing. Some companies are also developing single pass printing machines specifically for mask printing.


2. The market for personalized clothing customization is booming

Since its launch last year, digital heat transfer has been booming, with more than 40 equipment manufacturers. According to an incomplete total, the monthly consumption of heat transfer paint and ink has exceeded 100 tons, the nozzles have grown from 2 to 4 or more, and the printing width has also expanded to 1.9 meters. The users cover Guangdong, Ningbo, Yiwu, Hangzhou, and Zhili. Textile industry clusters such as, Changshu, etc. are becoming the mainstream process of personalized clothing printing. At the Guangzhou TSCI Digital Printing Exhibition, more than 20 sets sublimation printer have participated in the exhibition.


3. The time for the transformation of traditional enterprises

32, 48, and 64-head high-speed digital printing machines have become popular models, and the single pass machine are common
in market

With environmental protection and carbon neutrality, the transformation of traditional printing enterprises is imminent. Large printing and dyeing companies all added 32 or 48 high-speed direct-injection digital printing machines. In the future, 32-head and 48-head high-speed digital printing machines will become the mainstream models of direct injection. In addition, the ultra-high-speed single pass digital printing machine has also entered the field of direct injection, and Haiyin Kun’s single pass has continuously produced 10 million meters of active direct-injection digital printing. It is reported that more than 10 equipment companies exhibited high-speed digital printing machines at this Guangzhou TSCI Digital Printing Show.
