Market Overview:
The global plastic doctor blade market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for printing and packaging applications, technological advancements in printing processes, and rising demand from emerging economies. In terms of type, the conventional doctor blade segment is expected to hold a major share of the market during the forecast period. However, composite doctor blades are projected to grow at a higher CAGR owing to their superior performance as compared with conventional doctor blades. In terms of application, flexo printing is projected to be one of the fastest-growing segments during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A plastic doctor blade is a device used to scrape material off of a surface. The importance of the plastic doctor blade is that it can help clean surfaces and remove material without damaging the surface.
Conventional Doctor Blade:
Conventional doctor blade is a surgical instrument used in various surgeries. It's basically an elongated, thin piece of metal or plastic with sharp cutting edges that are used to cut tissues and organs during medical procedures. The conventional doctor blade market is segmented on the basis of product type which includes disposable and reusable blades. Based on the usage, it’s sub-segmented into general surgery, plastic & reconstructive surgery and others (cosmetic).
Composite Doctor Blade:
Composite doctor blade is a medical device used for cutting and shaving the skin during surgeries. It’s an essential tool that helps surgeons during various operations. The blades are available in different forms such as disposable, single-use, reusable and non-disposable blades. Composite doctor blade is one of the most important surgical tools which has replaced traditional sharp knives or scalpels due to its safety features and ease of use.
Application Insights:
The flexography application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 30.0% in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for flexible packaging products across various industries such as food & beverage, consumer goods, retail and healthcare on a global level.
Flexo printing involves using a heated metal plate with rubber or plastic that has been molded onto it (the impression material). This process requires doctor blades with high precision so that impressions are smooth and consistent every time. These products are used in applications including banknotes, security papers, checks (checksheets), currency notes (large bills), postage stamps and labels among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of the region can be attributed to increasing demand for offset printing doctor blade from China, which is one of the largest gravure printing countries. In addition, growing population and disposable income levels are anticipated to fuel industry expansion over the next eight years.
North America accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue as well as volume in 2017 owing to high demand generated by U.S.-based companies such as International Paper and General Electric that offer products with advanced features including lightweight material options along with cost-effective pricing structure suitable for small & medium businesses across North America region.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to rising product adoption across several industries including packaging, automotive etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as packaging, automotive, and construction
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using plastic doctor blades over traditional metal doctor blades
- Rising demand for high-quality printing products
- Technological advancements in the manufacturing process of plastic doctor blades
- Growing popularity of digital printing
