Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2015 -- Electrophotography is a dry printing technique invented by Chester Carlson in 1938. The idea was acknowledged in 1947 by Xerox, formerly known as The Haloid Photographic Company. Electrophotography is the most popular digital printing technology used in the labeling and packaging industries. These industries use this method to enhance the printed content quality in packaged goods.

The food and retail industry is one of the major end users in this market.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global electrophotographic printing market in the packaging industry to grow at a CAGR of 8.78% over the period 2014-2019.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "The growth in the global digital printing market has significantly affected the labeling and packaging industry over past few years. For instance, Xeikon, a manufacturer of digital label printing devices, has purchased a UV flexographic press to fight the competition and to meet the rising demand from beverage manufacturers. Digital printing was developed in the 1970s; however, digital color printing was introduced only in 1993. Subsequently, digitalization has become a key driver in the printing process, and it has affected the traditional printing process. The adoption rate of digitalization in printing processes is faster in emerging countries such as China and India than in other countries. The increased adoption of digital printing has led to the development of advanced hybrid printing technology, which includes both digital and conventional printing processes. Therefore, the growth in digital printing is one of the key trends propelling the market."
