Type Segment
The letterpress printings segment is accounted for highest revenue in the coming years reaching up to 12 billion by 2028. Advantages such as crystal-clear printing quality and crisp finish with improved visual definition owing to the unique text and image impression on the paper has led to wide scale end-user adoption if letterpress printing in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue even throughout the projected timeframe. In letterpress printings, a printings plate is a mirror replica of the finished print. The plate procures ink from the inking roller and transfers it to the imprint roller through a roller pathway. The additional rollers, especially the imprint roller, get attached to the substrate, to ensure more detailed and fine printings. This is perfect for guilloche and other intricate patterns found on checks and other security documents.
End-User Segment
The commercial segment is expected to increase at a higher CAGR than the residential sector throughout the projection period, according to the End User segment. The growing demand for stock certificates, product verification, and other documentation is driving the commercial sector industry ahead.
