This has opened up new revenue streams for creatives, enabling them to reach audiences through online marketplaces. Furthermore, DTG is making inroads into niche markets such as pet apparel and home textiles, where small-scale, customized production is highly valued. The technology’s adaptability ensures it meets the diverse needs of industries ranging from fashion to marketing, cementing its role as a game-changer in textile printing.
The adoption of DTG printing has accelerated in recent years, driven by its accessibility and alignment with modern consumer trends. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including boutique print shops and independent designers, have quickly embraced DTG due to its low entry barriers. Unlike screen printing, which requires costly setup and large minimum orders, DTG printers are relatively affordable, and their compact designs suit small workspaces. This democratization of printing technology has empowered entrepreneurs to launch businesses with minimal capital, fostering a wave of creative startups in the custom apparel space.
The market is expanding rapidly across Europe due to the increasing emphasis on customization, sustainability, and technological innovation in the textile and apparel sectors. The United Kingdom’s fashion and textile industry is a major contributor to the national economy, adding £62 billion to the UK’s economy, which translates to £1 in every £34 of gross value added (GVA), according to a report by UKFT and Oxford Economics. Across the European Union, industrial production has shown a strong recovery and upward trajectory, increasing 8% in 2021 and 5% in 2022. In nominal terms, the value of sold production rose significantly from €5.2 trillion in 2021 to €6.2 trillion in 2022—a remarkable 19% increase. Sweden stands out as a leader in industrial innovation, with its manufacturing and industrial engineering sector contributing up to $100 billion to the national GDP. Advanced manufacturing alone generates around $36 billion, and 75% of Swedish exports are tied to this sector. In conclusion, Europe’s thriving fashion industry and emphasis on sustainable, on-demand textile production are reinforcing the DTG printing market’s steady growth across the continent.
