Thermal & Inkjet
Disc Printers Market Top Key Players, Latest Trends 2026

According to a recent market report published by Future
Market Insights titled “Disc Printers Market: U.S., Europe & Japan
Industry Analysis & Opportunity Assessment, 2016-2026” the U.S.,
Europe & Japan disc
printers market was valued at US$ 929.6 Mn in 2015, and is expected to
register a declining CAGR of -3.0% from 2016 to 2026. Increasing demand for
online media content,

continuous adoption of cloud-based storage services and
other media storage devices, high raw material cost and technological
innovation with efficient alternatives for accessing data are the major factors
affecting the growth of the disc printers market in U.S., Europe & Japan.

Disc printing is the process of printing text, data or
images on the surface of the optical disc. Two different approaches for
printing CD-R on-demand are – Thermal disc printing and Inkjet disc printing. A
thermal disc printer employs pressure and heat to apply text and graphics to
the disc surface. The print surface of thermal printed discs is more durable.
Thermal disc printing produces colour custom labels that are waterproof,
scratchproof and do not require any additional coating.

However their colour printing capability has limitations
that preclude its use in cases when label has complex colour graphic content.
Inkjet printers utilise a mechanism in which the print head has several tiny
nozzles/jets that spray ink onto the disc, as the disc moves past the print
head, forming the characters or images. Inkjet disc printers may employ a
single cartridge for different colours or several cartridges, with one for each
colour depending upon different models, and are priced accordingly.

Segmentation highlights

The U.S., Europe & Japan disc printers market is
categorised on the basis of printer type as thermal disc printers and inkjet
disc printers. On the basis thermal disc printers, the market is further
