Market Overview:
The global doctor blade system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for doctor blade systems in printing applications, especially flexographic printing and offset printing. In addition, the growing demand for doctor blade systems from emerging economies such as China and India is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, metal blades are expected to account for a major share of the global doctor blade system market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their superior performance as compared to plastic blades and other types of blades available in the market.
Product Definition:
Doctor Blade System is a system used in the printing industry to ensure perfect registration of colors on the printing plate. The doctor blade system consists of a series of metal blades that are brought down over the surface of the plate to clean any ink or debris from between the dots that make up an image. This ensures that each dot will be hit with ink, and results in a perfectly printed image.
Metal Blades:
Metal blades are used in the doctor blade system for various purposes. The most common application of metal blades is to cut the skin during surgeries. In addition, they are also used as a source of biopsy material or for shaving lesions and removing warts from patients’ bodies during medical examinations or procedures.
Metal blades have been widely accepted in surgical procedures due to their ability to provide high-quality cuts with minimal blood loss.
Plastic Blades:
Plastic blades are thin, rigid, flat pieces of plastic used in the doctor blade system. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the specific requirements of medical device manufacturers. The most commonly used plastics for manufacturing these products include polycarbonate, nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylics and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).
Application Insights:
The flexographic printing system held the largest market share in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a steady CAGR over the forecast period. The flexible packaging segment is expected to witness significant growth on account of increasing demand for various products, including cell phones, laptops, tablets and cosmetics.
Intaglio printing systems are used for creating intaglio plates or cylinders that are used in offset printing as well as other applications such as embossing and die cutting machines. These systems require an immense amount of force applied at a sharp angle which results in high wear & tear on the doctor blades making them unusable after some time. Hence, these devices are only found in niche applications where high-precision is not required nor required frequently enough to make replacement economical or practical. This trend has hindered industry growth considerably but should start recovering by 2030 with improved technology development aiding higher precision requirements across numerous application areas leading to increased demand for device replacements thereby fueling market expansion during this forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of this region can be attributed to the presence of a large number of offset printing plants and flexographic printing presses. In North America, metal blade systems are being widely used for cutting flexographic printing plates and intaglio printing dies due to their superior characteristics such as high sharpness, accuracy, durability etc.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from several industries including packaging, automotive & transportation (for manufacturing vehicle bodies), food & beverage (for producing bottles), textile & clothing (for manufacturing fabrics) among others. Increasing population coupled with rapid urbanization has led to an increase in consumer goods production which will further boost product demand across this region over the forecast period. Moreover, growing industrialization along with rising government initiatives towards adoption of eco-friendly products will also drive regional market growth over the next eight years (from 2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for better and faster medical treatments.
- Growing number of surgical procedures requiring advanced doctor blade systems.
- Technological advancements in the field of doctor blade systems that improve accuracy and efficiency of surgeries.
- Rising healthcare expenditure by governments and individuals worldwide, which is driving the adoption of new technologies in the medical sector including doctor blade systems market 5 Increased focus on minimally invasive surgeries that require use of advanced doctor blade systems
