Introduction

Ink jet technology is at the heart of the industrial marking world, and is the most widely placed digital printing technology for primary and secondary coding applications.

Approximately $143 million in ink jet coders of all types were sold in North America during 2003. Augmented by fluids, parts, and service revenues, the total North American market reached $385 million last year, and the total world market was likely about triple that figure.

To describe this important market and to predict its future, InfoTrends offers the document entitled Ink Jet Coding: Overview and Outlook, 2004. This report provides InfoTrends' estimate and forecast for the ink jet coding market in North America between 2003 and 2008.

Key Findings

• Continuous ink jet (CIJ) and piezoelectric printers for primary coding accounted for $95 million in sales in North America during 2004 and are expected to grow to $104 million in 2008. All secondary printers accounted for $57 million in North American sales during 2004, and this number will reach $58 million in 2008.
• The world market for primary and secondary ink jet coding equipment totaled nearly $534 million in 2004, and this number is expected to reach $627 million in 2008.
• North American shipments of thermal ink jet (TIJ) based coders are expected to show a CAGR of 13% through 2008, the highest growth rate among all coding devices.
