  • Global dye sublimation printing markets have resumed past strong growth trends (averaging more than 10% year-on-year annual growth)
  • The global value of dye sublimation printing is forecast to reach more than €14 billion in 2027
  • Global digital dye sub printing has seen a 3.9% CAGR between 2017 and 2022

Exclusive Content

The disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic severely depressed global dye sub printing markets in 2020, through much of 2021 and into 2022. Key markets appear to have substantially recovered and resumed historical growth rates of greater than 10% annually during 2022.

Dye sub equipment manufacturers and systems suppliers continue to focus upon providing greater economy and reliability, through greater line speeds and broader printing process automation. Significant development effort is focused upon improving direct-to-fabric / direct-to-garment dye sublimation printing processes.


What Will You Discover?

Global dye sublimation is recovering from the disruption caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic of 2020–22.
