Coding And Marking Equipment Market To Reach $24.93 Billion By 2030

Coding And Marking Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The global coding and marking equipment market size is expected to reach USD 24.93 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing health consciousness among consumers. The growing preference among consumers for packaged and labeled food and beverages is particularly encouraging food and beverage manufacturers to deploy coding and marking equipment, thereby driving the growth of the market.

The adoption of multifunctional inkjet printers for coding and marking purposes is expected to gain significant traction over the forecast period. Multifunctional inkjet printers are highly versatile as they support various functions, including scanning, copying, fax, and printing. Moreover, the cost of multifunctional inkjet printers also tends to be lower than that of conventional inkjet printers. Even though the operating cost of multifunctional inkjet printers is typically high owing to the power they consume and the maintenance they require; their features, such as USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, and LCD touchscreen, make them highly user-friendly. Hence, small businesses and enterprises prefer multifunctional inkjet printers for coding and marking purposes.

However, the high capital investment required for implementing coding and marking equipment is expected to emerge as a major market restraint over the forecast period. Small businesses and enterprises particularly lack the financial resources and the infrastructure required to implement coding and marking equipment. On the other hand, the return on investment (ROI) associated with coding and marking equipment is hardly quantifiable, which is also discouraging major food producers from adopting it.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic took a severe toll on the coding and marking equipment market. The lockdowns implemented in different parts of the world as a precaution to control the spread of the virus affected the supply of raw materials and the movement of finished products. The temporary closure of factories in China also affected the supply of the inks used in coding and marking machinery.
