Indonesia Thermal Printer Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A thermal printer is a printer that uses heat in order to produce an image on paper. This process creates images with high print quality and helps the print to last longer. There are various advantages that thermal printers offer, such as quality of print, speed, and accuracy in printing. Moreover, with technological advancement, thermal printers are widely getting adopted in various industries such as airline, banking, entertainment, warehouse, retail, grocery, manufacturing and healthcare industries. In general, thermal printing does not use ink or toner like many other printers, but it largely depends on thermal papers for producing the images. There are two major classes of thermal printers such as direct thermal and thermal transfer. Thermal transfer class printers use a heated print head that applies that heat to a ribbon/strip that has a wax/resin coating. On the other hand, direct class thermal printers create images directly on the printed material, which are chemically coated or heat-sensitive material that blackens when the thermal print head is applied. There are various types of thermal printers, such as Mobile, Desktop, Industrial, Print Engines, and POS printers.

Indonesia Thermal Printer Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing adoption of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) is a category of technologies used to collect/store information about an individual, object, audio and image without manual entry. The most commonly used technology to identify and capture data is barcodes. AIDC systems are used in various sectors, such as distribution, manufacturing, transportation and retail, among many others. Technologies and equipment used in AIDC technologies are radio frequency identification (RFID), barcode, voice recognition, labels, magnetic strips, multi-modal data collection and optical character recognition.

• Upsurge in demand for wireless mobile thermal printers

With advancement in technology the concept of wireless mobile thermal printer came into existence. This allowed user to generate hard copy of the gathered information using digital devices such as universal serial bus (USB) or Bluetooth. Mobile thermal printer are smaller, compact in size and wireless in nature, which allows the user to move freely & allowed user to carry out the device from one place to another with ease. The devices are durable and lightweight, which enables the user to easily use the device in different environments.

Opportunities

• Growing usage of RFID and thermal barcode printers in the retail sector

Thermal barcode printers work using controlled heat to create an image onto the media. There are two thermal print technologies direct thermal and thermal transfer. In direct thermal printing, the print head applies heat on to coated thermal media, which turns dark when heat is applied. In thermal-transfer printing, the print head heats a ribbon that transfers wax or resin to the media

Restraints/Challenges

Cost of thermal printers are quite high, as the materials used in the thermal printing process are considerably more expensive. The thermal printers consist of various parts such as a thermal head, auto cutter unit, circuit board, platen, spring and thermal print rolls. This contributes to the cost of thermal printers. Adding to this, thermal printers use a print head that consists of rows of tiny heating elements which is in the form of needles. These needles are propelled toward the paper when the coil is energized. These needles impact an inked ribbon or the coated paper, causing the paper or the paper behind the ribbon to be marked. Collectively these tiny heating elements can generate up to 400 degrees C

Recent Development

• In February 2021, BIXOLON CO., LTD. Launched SRP-S320 Linerless Label Printer. The key feature of this thermal printer was a high media roll capacity of up to 120 mm outside diameter. Moreover, it featured an enhanced silicone-coated Platen Roller with an embossed surface to ensure smooth printing. This product was well received in the retail industry and helped the company to expand its market.
