Digital Print Asia 2026 will take place on 24–25 September 2026 at Hilton Manyata Business Park, Bengaluru, bringing the focus firmly onto how the digital printing industry is preparing for its next phase of growth.
The 2026 theme, Automation | Accelerate | Achieve, reflects the realities of a maturing digital print market. Automation now extends beyond production into workflows, data, and decision-making. Acceleration speaks to the need for faster turnarounds, shorter runs, and responsive business models. Achieve brings the focus back to outcomes, sustainable growth, operational efficiency, and profitability.
Speaking about the direction of the upcoming summit, Tushar Dhote, Curator of Digital Print Asia 2.0, said, “The industry is moving past isolated technology adoption. The next phase is about how automation, process alignment, and business thinking come together. Digital Print Asia 2026 is being curated to reflect that shift and encourage more meaningful, experience-driven discussions.”
This direction builds on Digital Print Asia 2025, held on 21–22 August at Novotel Jaipur, Rajasthan. The Jaipur edition followed a conversation-focused format, bringing together 50+ speakers and 150+ delegates for discussions around market evolution, customer expectations, and strategic decision-making in digital print. The emphasis remained on knowledge exchange and networking, reinforcing the value of dialogue-driven platforms in an industry undergoing rapid change.
India’s digital printing market has crossed USD 1.4 billion, supported by growth in short-run packaging, print-on-demand, textiles, and localized branding. Globally, the digital printing market is projected to exceed USD 85 billion by the end of the decade, with Asia-Pacific emerging as the fastest-growing region. These trends underline the need for focused platforms that address scale, efficiency, and long-term competitiveness.
