Now is the time to diversify your business by adding a direct-to-garment printer into your workflow to increase your bottom line.
Where is direct-to-garment in the apparel industry today?
Direct-to-garment has been around the industry since the 1990s and rapidly growing these past 10 years. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, web-to-print (print-on-demand) orders increased as consumers' online buying habits changed. As a result, industry experts state that digital textile printing will grow by more than 230% by 2025, making direct-to-garment the fastest-growing segment in the print industry.
On average, consumers spent $1120 per capita on clothing in the U.S. in 2021and togetherpurchase more than two billion new T-shirts per year. Digital printing gives consumers more options than traditional screen printing. With the ability to personalize T-shirts for individual self-expression, direct-to-garment printing allows unique customization with tools like print-on-demand technologies. Today’s consumers are willing to pay more for customized apparel, and as a result, the direct-to-garment segment is expected to reach $161.22 billion by 2024.
