Pira' latest report focuses on the end use for inkjet printing and manufacturing in the 10 year period from 2005. It concentrates on a broad spectrum of market uses such as signage and display, commercial print, direct mail, transactional, newspapers and books.
According to the research body, the total inkjet equipment market will bounce back from a decline in 2009 to be worth $1.8bn (£1.11bn) in 2010.
The report also addresses the growing importance of electrophotography technology within the print industry, claiming that electrophotography currently accounts for 9.4% of the value of the global print market, up from the 8.7% it held in 2009.
Adam Page, head of editorial at Pira International, said: "Over the next five years we will see a general movement of improving productivity and quality in all sectors, making inkjet increasingly competitive against screen, flexo, gravure and offset printing.
"It will also take share from electrophotography in some markets, such as mono overprinting by making full colour, totally variable output economic at good quality levels."
