Glass for Digital Printing Market size is forecast to reach US$27.7 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2022-2027. Advanced technologies for printing on glass substrate have changed the way we look at glass as a medium for interior and exterior surface design, whether for architectural, commercial, or industrial applications. The choice between digital printing vs screen printing methods today is based not only on the technique, but also on considerations such as location, quantity, trend, image, sustainability, and versatility, as well as more functional and utilitarian requirements. The rising use of glass in the construction industry and the automotive sector is also likely boost glass for digital printing market. The rising disposable income of consumers has driven the demand for glass in the construction sector, as it presents several aesthetic benefits over conventional construction materials. The steady demand for printing on automotive glasswork is also likely to remain a key contributor to the global screen-printing glass market in the coming years, as automotive glass is now being made to the highest quality standards. The different ink used for the process includes UV-cured, aqueous, latex, dye sublimation, ceramic ink and others. Glass industry, for instance, is a massive global industry with 1200 companies and producing a staggering 209 million tonnes of glass annually. Inkjet printing is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper and plastic substrates

Glass for Digital Printing Market Segment Analysis – By Method
Screen Printing segment holds the largest share in the glass for digital printing market in 2021. The two main approaches to printing on glass are screen printing and digital ceramic glass printing. Both methods offer excellent results and benefits, with different degrees of versatility and cost, using different techniques, types of equipment, and inks. The screen-printing method is actually a traditional technique that has been used successfully for many decades. Screen printing is suitable for both interior and exterior surfaces, and is highly durable. This method uses a stencil and a mesh screen to create the design. Ink is spread across the screen with a squeegee while the stencil blocks certain areas of glass, leaving others open to let the ink through. The result is a high-quality image, pattern, or design element. The ink is then fired to adhere to the glass. Screen printing on glass is limited to a maximum of four colors. Each color requires a long setup and preparation time, and high fixed costs. Screen printing is ideal for high-volume glass printing production in commercial, residential and others applications boosting the market during the forecast period.
