Gravure Printing Machine Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A gravure printing machine is an equipment engraving an image onto an image carrier. This image is mainly engraved onto the printing plate, and the ink is directly moved to the paper. Gravure presses generally print on rolls of paper instead of sheets of paper. Gravure printing is one of the most effective and widely used printing procedures.

Gravure Printing Machine Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand for flexible packaging from various end-user industries

The growing demand for gravure printing machines to produce flexible packaging is expected to drive the market's growth. Flexible packaging is used in several end-user industries, such as food packaging, wrapping paper, package printing, magazine printing, and many other commercial printing applications. Therefore, the increasing demand for flexible packaging eventually drives the growth of the gravure printing machine market.

• Increasing demand for gravure printing machines in the e-commerce sector

The rising demand for gravure printing machines in the e-commerce sector is expected to drive market growth. The advent of e-commerce has augmented the need for gravure printing on products having different sizes and shapes. Many people are moving from conventional to online shopping because of convenience. Therefore, e-retailers use corrugated boxes and other packaging products based on the type of products being transported to confirm safe delivery. Such factors will propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

• Rapid advancements in technology

Rapid technological advances are expected to drive innovation in gravure printing machine manufacturing, thus creating lucrative opportunities for market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, technologies such as big data analytics, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence are being used in manufacturing gravure printing machines, thus resulting in lower operating costs, higher productivity, and higher margins. Furthermore, advanced sensors, mobile applications, and embedded software also created new opportunities for companies in this market. These factors are expected to boost the market during the forecast period.

• The growing popularity of smart packaging

The increasing popularity of smart packaging is another factor that creates lucrative opportunities for the gravure printing machine market. The potential of packaging intelligence in enhancing consumer sales through packaging differentiation by different sizes and types, printing techniques, visual features, and convenience is unexplored. The R2R gravure with nanomaterials has led to the growth of the specialized grades of extremely printable liner boards to produce packaging with a strong visual impact. This will further support the growth of the market in the forecast years.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Lack of proper infrastructure

The lack of proper infrastructure for installing gravure printing machines will likely obstruct the market's growth. Hence, the need for a change in the infrastructure of existing manufacturing systems when installing the gravure printing machine can obstruct the whole production line and the organization's productivity. As a result of this, it hampers the market growth.

• Availability of gravure printing machine alternatives

The availability of alternative gravure printing machines, such as flexographic printing machines, is expected to challenge the growth of the gravure printing machine market during the forecast period. Flexo printing has a much shorter lead time than gravure printing, which needs less frequent changing of the cylinder. The print run time for the gravure is longer than flexo. These are the major factors that restrain the market's growth.
