Global Print Equipment Market to Grow Steadily, Driven by Digital and Packaging Demand

Released on March 6, 2026, a market report by Mordor Intelligence shows that the global print equipment market is expected to maintain steady growth in the next five years. The market size is projected to expand from USD 19.98 billion in 2025 and USD 20.67 billion in 2026 to USD 24.22 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.22% from 2026 to 2031. The growth is mainly driven by the shifting demand from offset-dominated production lines to digital and hybrid presses, as converters pursue fast changeovers, minimal makeready, and variable-data features.

Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 41.43% of the global market volume in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.12% during 2026-2031, becoming the largest and fastest-growing market. In terms of application, packaging accounted for 39.81% of the print equipment market in 2025 and is advancing at a 3.96% CAGR through 2031, driven by strict food and pharmaceutical labeling rules in the EU and the US, which are prompting enterprises to invest in presses supporting serialization and allergen declarations.
