Thermal printing market recovers, labels become key growth area

The past two years have been extremely challenging for the thermal printing market. From 2022 to 2023, the overall demand for thermal printing market was weak. Affected by a variety of factors such as the development of e-commerce, supply chain disruptions, and declining consumer demand for goods and services, the use of thermal printing has declined in the short term, and many projects requiring new equipment have been postponed or cancelled.

Green printing brings opportunities for thermal CTP, and fully automatic CTP is more popular

Thermal CTP refers to a thermal plate-making machine that uses thermal plate-making technology. It is the most popular choice among printers. It has many advantages, such as being insensitive to light, being able to operate under daylight conditions, being easy to operate, and having minimal impact on the environment. In terms of type, thermal CTP is often divided into three types: semi-automatic, fully automatic, and manual. In 2020, the market shares of the above three types of CTP were 18.86%, 75.34%, and 5.80%, respectively.

How to choose thermal, UV and CTP

When choosing thermal, UV, and CTP (computer-to-plate) technologies, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively, including technical characteristics, cost-effectiveness, market demand, production environment, etc. The following is a detailed analysis of these three technologies and selection recommendations:
