Revenue to Reach $564 Million by 2011 for UV Roll-To-Roll Inkjet

摘要

I.T. Strategies recently released a report that indicates sales of roll-to-roll UV inkjet printers (not including hybrids) could grow from an installed base of 199 printers in 2006 to 1300 by 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 46%. Total manufacturer revenue from UV roll-to-roll printers (hardware, ink, and media) is forecast to increase from $121 million in 2006 to more than $560 million by 2011, a compound rate of 36%. Liz Ziepniewski Logue, senior consultant at I.T. Strategies, says, "UV roll-to-roll inkjet printers could negatively impact the solvent market over the next five years, as users move some output from solvent printers to UV printers and more importantly, as users decide to spend their dollars on UV printers rather than solvent printers."
