The micro-electro-mechanical systems (mems) inkjet heads market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet heads market has grown steadily in recent years. It is expected to increase from $1 billion in 2024 to $1.04 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 3.6%.
This growth is driven by the growing preference for digital printing, demand for high-resolution printing solutions, greater use of MEMS inkjet heads in multifunction printers, a trend towards environmentally friendly options, and expanding applications in emerging industries.
The micro-electro-mechanical systems (mems) inkjet heads market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The MEMS inkjet heads market is expected to grow steadily, reaching $1.18 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 3.3%.
Growth is driven by the demand for efficient printing solutions, rising need from the packaging industry, growth in digital textile printing, a focus on high-quality printing, and the expansion of additive manufacturing. Trends include advancements in printing technologies, the rise of 3D printing, IoT-enabled printing setups, eco-friendly printing processes, and improvements in microfabrication technology.
The expansion of additive manufacturing is expected to fuel the growth of the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inkjet head market. Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, allows for the creation of objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technique is increasingly used in industries for producing intricate geometries and optimizing material use. MEMS inkjet heads play a crucial role in this process, enabling high-resolution printing and precision material deposition. A survey by Protolabs in July 2023 revealed that 71% of surveyed businesses increased their use of 3D printing in 2022 compared to the previous year, promoting the growth of the MEMS inkjet head market.
