柔版印刷市場-IMG1

電子商務交易量的成長、日益嚴格的食品接觸法規以及人工智慧驅動的印刷自動化技術的不斷進步，預計將繼續推動柔版印刷市場的發展動能。供應商正在針對產品生命週期較短的品牌最佳化窄幅捲筒紙印刷機和數位混合印刷機，而加工商則擴大採用水性油墨以滿足全球揮發性有機化合物（VOC）基準值。對永續瓦楞紙物流日益成長的需求，以及對快速裝版和檢測系統的投資，正幫助柔版印刷市場保持其相對於膠印和凹版印刷等競爭方式的優勢。亞太地區的產能，加上政府對循環包裝的激勵措施，進一步鞏固了該地區在柔版印刷市場的主導地位。

全球柔版印刷市場趨勢與洞察

品牌擁有者要求縮短 SKU 更新週期

隨著消費者偏好變化日新月異，品牌經理不得不更頻繁地更新包裝設計。印刷企業正積極應對這項挑戰，採用窄幅輪轉印刷機，實現幾分鐘內完成印版更換，從而減少停機時間和材料浪費。 Onyx GO 等解決方案透過主動套準控制，可將設定廢料減少 30%。更快的周轉時間使零售商能夠試銷季節性產品而無需大量庫存，從而緩解柔版印刷市場的營運資金壓力。同時，基於雲端的工作流程軟體加快了設計稿核准，確保新設計能夠在短短幾週內從概念轉化為商店。

經濟高效的長幅包裝印刷

當印刷量超過百萬份時，柔版印刷仍是單位成本最低的選擇。光敏樹脂版可承受數十萬次循環，而節能烘乾機則能降低營運成本。以杜邦Orion為例，從凹版印刷轉向柔版印刷後，溶劑用量減少了30%，並提高了工作場所的安全性。這些經濟效益幫助傳統消費品企業在柔版印刷市場站穩腳跟，並維持了印刷機的運轉率和OEM廠商的備件銷售。亞洲的印刷加工商正充分利用這些成本優勢，同時運作三班倒作業以滿足出口主導的需求。

數位噴墨技術在縮短交貨時間的替代效應

壓電噴頭和水性分散油墨技術的進步，使得可變資料印刷能夠以極具競爭力的點擊率實現接近膠印的影像品質。製藥包裝製造商正在將數位化生產線與ERP軟體整合，以按需生產特定國家/地區的附加檔，從而將庫存降至零。為此，柔版印刷市場正在向混合型印刷機轉型，這種印刷機將傳統單元與在線連續噴墨單元相結合，在保持現有印後加工流程的同時，增加了序列化功能。

細分市場分析

隨著加工商尋求能夠在批量生產模式和個人化批量生產模式之間切換的單條生產線，新型數位混合印刷機的安裝佔有率不斷增加。儘管窄幅印刷機在2025年仍佔總營收的30.52%，但混合印刷機預計將以9.09%的複合年成長率成長，顯著超過柔版印刷市場的整體成長速度。典型的配置是將用於品牌顏色的10色柔版印刷單元與位於複捲機之前的CMYK噴墨印刷單元結合。這種配置將作業切換時間縮短至五分鐘以內，即使平均訂單量低於5000米，也能確保生產線盈利。中幅印刷機仍然是衛生紙包裝和零食包裝紙的首選，而寬幅CI柔版印刷機則繼續在立式袋領域佔據主導地位。單張紙印刷機適用於折疊紙盒的印刷，而折疊紙盒的印刷則需要在下游進行精密模切。

模組化平台允許加工商根據客戶產品組合的變化，隨時添加電暈處理裝置、冷卻輥或第二個噴墨條。 Sapphire LUCE 正是這種模組化設計的體現，它將 1200 x 1200 dpi 的解析度與每分鐘 150 公尺的印刷速度完美結合。服務等級協定通常包含預測性維護分析功能，可將非計劃性停機時間減少到可用時間的 2% 以下。即使整個柔版印刷市場面臨來自新興國家翻新印刷機興起的競爭壓力，這些功能也使原始設備製造商 (OEM) 能夠運作定價權。

到2025年，水性油墨系統將佔總收入的40.42%，這主要得益於其低氣味和在大多數地區獲得直接食品接觸認證。這些油墨是瓦楞紙箱、折疊紙盒和紙質包裝的關鍵化學品。同時，由於其印刷速度快，且在無孔薄膜上具有優異的耐刮擦性，預計到2031年，紫外光固化油墨的複合年成長率將達到8.28%。能量固化解決方案採用緊湊型LED燈，其電力消耗% ，有助於工廠降低電費。由於美國環保署（EPA）第59條法規對揮發性有機化合物（VOC）排放的限制日益嚴格，溶劑型油墨的市佔率持續下降。電子束固化油墨仍處於小眾市場，滲透率不到2%，但在乳製品包裝和無菌紙盒領域展現出良好的應用前景。

油墨供應商透過顏料分散穩定性、流變控制和低遷移添加劑配方來區分產品。 INX International 的 GelFlex EB 墨水在某些零食應用中無需覆膜，從而可以減少油墨厚度和箔材用量。這些創新體現了席捲柔版印刷市場的永續性趨勢。

區域分析

預計亞太地區將在2025年佔據38.05%的最大市場佔有率，並在2031年之前以9.06%的複合年成長率持續成長。中國供應基材、油墨和機械設備，實現了成本協同效應；印度電子商務小包裹的兩位數成長推動了國內包裝需求。日本和韓國優先發展自動化，在開發具備協作式機器人換輥功能的印刷生產線方面處於領先地位。東南亞國協政府的回收目標推動了水性油墨和單組分包裝袋設計的發展，從而擴大了柔版印刷市場的潛在機會。

北美在技術創新方面處於領先地位，主導人工智慧驅動的檢測攝影機和雲端連接黏度控制器的試驗。品牌所有者正在評估能夠提供符合FDA標準、低轉移工作流程的加工商，以維持高價值的印刷。隨著勞動力短缺的持續，諸如Ricoh的「高級職業教育計畫」等措施正在製定中，旨在培訓操作員進行印刷機旁的數據分析。近岸外包趨勢正將消費品製造地從亞洲轉移到墨西哥，推動了北美對連續柔版印刷生產線的新投資。

歐洲持續面臨嚴格的監管審查，「零污染」框架要求迅速採用植物來源光引發劑和不含礦物油的油墨。德國正憑藉其卓越的工程技術不斷進步，法國正在加速生質塑膠包裝的發展，而義大利則在擴建窄幅捲筒紙印刷技術中心，例如博斯特位於佛羅倫薩的1200平方公尺的中心。東歐的印刷加工商正利用有利的工資結構來滿足不斷成長的訂單，並鞏固該地區在柔版印刷市場中的多元化地位。

簡介目錄
Product Code: 67446

The flexographic printing market was valued at USD 19.80 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 20.94 billion in 2026 to reach USD 27.71 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.76% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

Flexographic Printing - Market - IMG1

Rising e-commerce volumes, stringent food-contact regulations, and continuous improvements in AI-enabled press automation are expected to uphold this momentum in the flexographic printing market. Equipment vendors are optimizing narrow-web and digital-hybrid presses to serve brands that juggle shorter SKU life cycles, while converters intensify water-based ink adoption to comply with global VOC thresholds. Growing demand for sustainable corrugated logistics, together with investments in rapid plate-mounting and inspection systems, keeps the flexographic printing market well placed against competing lithography and gravure methods. Asia-Pacific's manufacturing capacity, paired with government incentives for circular packaging, further cements the region's leadership role in the flexographic printing market.

Global Flexographic Printing Market Trends and Insights

Brand-owner Demand for Shorter SKU Cycles

Consumer preferences now turn over faster than ever, pushing brand managers to refresh packaging artwork frequently. Converters respond by leaning on narrow-web presses that complete plate changes in minutes, curbing downtime and material waste. Solutions such as the Onyx GO deliver active register control that lowers setup scrap by 30%. Shorter runs also let retailers pilot seasonal editions without carrying surplus inventory, reducing the working-capital burden throughout the flexographic printing market. In parallel, cloud-based workflow software accelerates artwork approvals, ensuring that new designs progress from concept to shelf within weeks.

Cost-Effective Long-Run Package Printing

Where volumes exceed millions of impressions, flexography still offers the lowest unit cost. Photopolymer plates last hundreds of thousands of cycles, while energy-efficient dryers reduce operating expenses. DuPont's Orion case illustrates 30% solvent savings after migrating from gravure to flexo, along with safer shop-floor conditions. Such economics keep legacy consumer-goods lines anchored in the flexographic printing market, preserving press utilization and spare-parts sales for OEMs. Asian converters, often running three shifts, maximize these cost advantages to meet export-driven demand.

Digital Inkjet Cannibalisation in Short Runs

Advances in piezo-electric heads and aqueous dispersion inks enable variable data and near-offset image quality at competitive click rates. Pharmaceutical packagers integrate digital lines with ERP software to produce country-specific leaflets on demand, cutting inventory to zero. In response, the flexographic printing market is pivoting to hybrid presses that merge in-line inkjet stations with conventional units, preserving established finishing workflows while adding serialization capability.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Water-Based Ink Adoption for Food Contact Compliance
  2. Shift Toward Sustainable Corrugated Logistics
  3. Volatile Photopolymer Plate Prices

Segment Analysis

Digital-hybrid presses lifted their share of new installations as converters sought one line that could alternate between mass-production mode and personalized batches. Although narrow-web machines secured 30.52% of revenue in 2025, the hybrid cohort is on course for 9.09% CAGR, well above the overall flexographic printing market. Typical configurations combine 10-color flexo decks for brand colors with CMYK inkjet bars placed just before the rewinder. Such set-ups reduce job changeover time to under five minutes, keeping lines profitable even when average order quantities fall below 5,000 linear m. Medium-web lines remain favored in tissue overwraps and snack wrappers, while wide-web CI flexo retains dominance in stand-up pouches. Sheet-fed presses serve folding cartons that require precise die-cutting stations downstream.

Converters equipping themselves with modular platforms can later bolt on corona treaters, chill rolls, or second inkjet bars as client mixes evolve. The SapphireLUCE exemplifies this modular path, pairing 1200 X 1200 DPI resolution with speeds of 150 mpm. Service-level agreements often bundle predictive-maintenance analytics, shrinking unplanned downtime below 2% of available hours. These feature sets sustain pricing power for OEMs, even as the broader flexographic printing market experiences competitive pressure from refurbished presses in emerging economies.

Water-based systems commanded 40.42% revenue in 2025 thanks to low odour and direct-food-contact approval in most jurisdictions. They form the baseline chemistry for corrugated boxes, folding cartons, and paper wraps. UV-curable inks, however, are projected to register 8.28% CAGR through 2031 because they support higher line speeds and excellent scratch resistance on non-porous films. Energy-curable solutions require compact LED lamps that draw 65% less power than mercury arc units, reducing plant electricity bills. Solvent variants, constrained by tightening VOC caps under the US EPA Part 59 ruling, continue to cede share. Electron-beam curables remain a niche at under 2% penetration but show promise in dairy lidding and aseptic cartons.

Ink suppliers differentiate through pigment dispersion stability, rheology control, and low-migration additive packages. INX International's GelFlex EB ink removes lamination in certain snack applications, dropping gauge weight and cutting foil usage. Such innovations echo the broader sustainability narrative resonating throughout the flexographic printing market.

Asia-Pacific generated the largest revenue slice at 38.05% in 2025 and is projected to compound at 9.06% CAGR to 2031. China supplies substrates, inks, and machinery, enabling integrated cost synergies, while India posts double-digit e-commerce parcel growth that fuels domestic packaging demand. Japan and South Korea emphasize automation, pioneering press lines equipped with cobot-assisted roll changes. Government recycling targets across ASEAN incentivize water-based inks and mono-material pouch designs, broadening addressable opportunities throughout the flexographic printing market.

North America remains the technology pione-er, hosting pilot runs for AI-driven inspection cameras and cloud-connected viscosity controllers. Brand owners reward converters that demonstrate FDA-compliant low-migration workflows, sustaining high value-added print per square meter. Labor shortages persist, prompting initiatives like Ricoh's Advanced Career Education program that trains operators in press-side data analytics. Nearshoring trends reroute consumer-goods manufacturing from Asia to Mexico, spurring fresh investments in CI flexo lines within North America.

Europe maintains keen regulatory oversight, compelling swift adoption of plant-based photoinitiators and mineral-oil-free ink sets under the Zero Pollution framework. Germany anchors engineering excellence, France accelerates bio-plastic packaging, and Italy scales narrow-web competence hubs such as Bobst's 1,200 sqm Florence center.
