U.S. coding and marking systems market is projected to reach $860.6 million by 2023, according to research. The market growth is mainly driven by increasing demand of coding and marking systems from the automotive industry. On the basis of technology, the U.S. coding and marking systems market is segmented into continuous inkjet, thermal transfer overprinting (TTO), thermal ink jet, drop on demand (DoD), print and apply labelers, laser coding and marking. Of these, laser coding and marking is the fastest growing category in the market, with respective volume and value CAGRs of 7.9% and 8.7% during the forecast period. Laser coding printers provide readable text, graphics, and serial numbers along with 2D codes on different packaging cartons, metal, plastics, and flexible packaging, with the highest quality. These properties lead to surge in their demand in the market. On the basis of end user, the U.S. coding and marking systems market is segmented into food and beverage, electrical and electronics, automotive and aerospace, chemical, healthcare, and others. Of these, food and beverage was the largest end user category, with respective volume and value contributions exceeding 45% and 40% in 2017. Stringent government regulations in the country regarding safety and traceability have mandated the proper labeling of manufacturing date, nutrition facts, ingredient list, and manufacturer details on the primary or secondary packages of food and beverage items; thereby leading to the market growth. In the U.S., boost in the manufacturing sector owing to stable macroeconomic outlook and decrease in the cost of managing the supply chain owing to vertical integration by leading players are also fueling the growth of the U.S. coding and marking systems market. For example, Dover corporation achieved more than 3% growth in printing and identification platform during the fourth quarter of 2017.
