The printing supplies segment, which includes direct thermal, thermal transfer and dye diffusion thermal transfer (D2T2), is forecast grow to $30.61 billion. Printing supplies are the largest component in this report: 72.3% of all thermal print revenues in 2025. Within the printer supply category, thermal transfer shows the highest growth rate by 2025 at 4.7%, direct thermal at 4.3%, and D2T2 is slowing down to 3.3% due to competing technologies such as inkjet and laser, and increase in electronic sharing and storage of photographs.
What will you discover?
This report is based on extensive primary and secondary research. Primary research consisted of interviews with thermal print suppliers, converters and experts drawn from key markets.
This was supported by secondary research in the form of extensive literature analysis of published data, official government statistics, domestic and international trade organisation data, company websites, industry reports, trade press articles, presentations, and attendance at trade events.
