Market Overview:
The global plastic printing doctor blade 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 plastic printing doctor blades in flexo, gravure, offset printing, and other applications. In terms of type, the global market is segmented into conventional doctor blade and composite doctor blade. The composite doctor blade segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than the conventional doctor blade segment during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
A plastic printing doctor blade is a tool used in lithography to clean the printing plate and remove any excess ink or water.
Conventional Doctor Blade:
Conventional doctor blade is a thin, flexible and double-edged tool that is used by printers to smooth out the ink when printing. It has a small gap between its two edges which allows excess ink to flow through it and reduces wrinkles in the printed material. The conventional doctor blade consists of two pieces connected by an elastic hinge which enables them to flex back & forth allowing for smoother printing.
Composite Doctor Blade:
Composite doctor blade is a tool with two or more blades attached to a handle. It is used in plastic printing for removing ink from the plate and also for cleaning the screen. The composite doctor blade works on the principle of suction, where one or more blades make contact with an object and then air is introduced between them by means of a vacuum, which causes removal of unwanted material from the surface.
Application Insights:
The flexographic printing application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of around 40% in 2017. This is attributed to its ability to print on various substrates, such as paper and plastics with high accuracy. Moreover, it offers a wide range of printing effects due to the use of different color modes and types. The market players have introduced advanced products, which provide enhanced performance compared to conventional products used in the past. For instance, Hyosung Heavy Industries developed a new type of doctor blade that can produce super-high quality prints by using an offset press with higher efficiency and better quality than before.
Gravure applications are expected register a CAGR around 11% from 2018 to 2030 owingto increased demand for gravure printers from various industries including food & beverage.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising disposable income, high population growth, and increasing foreign investments. China is one of the largest markets for these products owing to its large-scale production coupled with a growing domestic demand for them.
North America accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue as well as volume due to strong demand from end-use industries such as food & beverage, textiles, packaging among others across U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Moreover, presence of key players such as 3M; Avery Denison; E&K Logistics Inc.; GEA Group; Hagerty Manufacturing Company LLC.; Innovative Plastics Solutions (IPS) Inc.; Jabil Circuit Inc.; Lanxess AG & Co., KGaA; MSC Industrial Directives France S.A.; Schott Group Ltd.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from packaging and labeling industry for printing high-quality graphics and labels.
- Growing popularity of plastic printing doctor blade in the automotive sector for manufacturing car parts and components.
- Rising demand from the medical sector for producing customized medical devices and implants.
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology that is fueling the growth of plastic printing doctor blade market across different industrial verticals.
