Market Overview:
The global thermal portable printer 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 thermal portable printers from various end-use industries, such as hospitality, postal & parcel services, hospital, law enforcement, retail and securities. In addition, the growing demand for mobile printing solutions is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A thermal printer is a printer that prints by heating up a thermally sensitive print head. The print head is heated to its printing temperature, which is above the ambient temperature, and thermal ink or dye is deposited on the medium as it passes over the head.
Direct Thermal Portable Printers:
Direct thermal portable printers are also known as heat-based or hot-air portable printers. They work on the principle of directing a stream of heated toner particles towards the paper and printing upon it by using a simple thermoplastic matrix. The most common types of direct thermal printer include flat bed, dot matrix, and drum type.
Thermal Transfer Portable Printers:
Thermal transfer portable printers are also known as thermal printer, they are used to print documents and images on any material like cardboards, plastics, metals and glass. These devices use heat as the only means of printing materials. They can be used in various applications such as banking cards, labels & tags for retail products or advertising & packaging industries.
Application Insights:
The market is segmented on the basis of application into hospitality, postal & parcel services, healthcare, banking, law enforcement and retail. The healthcare segment held the largest share in 2017 owing to increasing demand for thermal paper from various sectors such as medical laboratories and pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, growing government initiatives towards improving hygiene conditions in hospitals are expected to drive the growth of this segment over the forecast period.
The banking sector is one of the prominent users of thermal paper due to its high legibility that enables quick understanding by customers regarding transactions carried out using their accounts. Moreover, banks are also making use of digital technologies but still continue using traditional methods for account management which include visiting branches or offices and filling forms there which increases wastage production cost thus affecting overall profitability negatively impacting demand positively over forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific regional market accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rising investments by companies in China, India, and Japan. Rising disposable income coupled with increasing population has resulted in an increased demand for consumer goods such as mobiles, tablets, laptops among others. This has led manufacturers of printers to incorporate features such as portability along with high-speed printing capabilities within their products range thereby driving the overall global market growth.
The European region occupied a significant share of global revenue owing to growing demand from several sectors including retail & e-commerce; law enforcement; healthcare; hospitality; and others. Europe was followed by North America which accounted for 18% of total market share in terms of revenue generation due to presence of prominent players operating across various segments including direct thermal portable printers segment dominated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Thermal Transfer Portable Printers segment represented by Epson Corporation.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for thermal portable printers from the retail sector for printing receipts and labels.
- The increasing demand for thermal portable printers from the transportation and logistics sector for printing shipping labels, waybills, and invoices.
- The growing demand for thermal portable printers in the healthcare sector to print patient records, medical prescriptions, and hospital bills.
- Rising popularity of mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems that use thermal portable printers to print receipts at customer locations instead of traditional checkout counters in stores or restaurants etcetera
