Digital printing is here to stay and in a big way. Multi-product, high-mix, low- volume production, the digital print- on-demand market is exploding with an expected CAGR of 26.1% from 2022 to 2030 and market forecasted growth of 65% over the next 10 years to reach $230 billion by 2029. COVID-19 fueled a surge in e-commerce sales, which saw a staggering 10 years' worth of growth during a 90-day period in 2020 and greatly increased demand for digital print with no end in sight — and printers are answering the call. Businesses with digital printing capabilities today can, for example, have 100 websites selling 1,000 designs and infinite custom options but not print a single item until payment. • Direct-to-garment is one of the fastest growing segments in print today • Direct-to-film is taking the market by storm with lower-cost options • Wide-format is expected to swell to $11.4 billion by 2026, CAGR 5.4% Risk can be low and ROI high in the bil- lion-dollar digital print market. Yet, one company recently invested $250,000 into digital printing equipment and went out of business in less than two years — while an- other invested the same amount, and then an additional $4 million in less than four years because business is booming. e dif- ference? e latter enlisted the experience and expertise of Millcraft.
