Global Dot Matrix Printing Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Dot Matrix Printing market size is expected to reach $ 2167 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of -2.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Dot matrix printing or impact matrix printing is a type of computer printing which uses a print head that runs back and forth, or in an up and down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a typewriter. However, unlike a typewriter or daisy wheel printer, letters are drawn out of a dot matrix, and thus, varied fonts and arbitrary graphics can be produced.

Dot-matrix printers vary in print resolution and overall quality with either 9 or 24-pin print heads. The more pins per inch, the higher the print resolution. Most dot-matrix printers have a maximum resolution of around 240 dpi (dots per inch). While this resolution is not as high as those possible in laser or inkjet printers, there is one distinct advantage to dot-matrix (or any form of impact) printing. Because the print head must strike the surface of the paper with enough force to transfer ink from a ribbon onto the page, it is ideal for environments that must produce carbon copies through the use of special multi-part documents. These documents have carbon (or other pressure-sensitive material) on the underside and create a mark on the sheet underneath when pressure is applied. Retailers and small businesses often use carbon copies as receipts or bills of sale.

The market main players represent: EPSON, OKI, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Lexmark, Printek etc. Top 3 companies occupy over 52% market share in 2015. China, Europe and North America dominate the top 3 consumption market with 81% of global total consumption.
