The global MEMS Inkjet Heads market is projected to reach US$1.2 billion by 2024, driven by technology advancements aimed at improving functional and operational efficiency of inkjet printers.
A vital part of an inkjet printer, printhead controls the placement of ink on the substrate and are therefore a focus area for design innovations. Thin-film MEMS inkjet printheads are growing in prominence. Benefits of MEMS design approach towards building printheads include uniform ink droplet size; ability to deposit novel inks on myriad types of substrates with accuracy and efficiency; superior control over inkjet firing frequency and nozzle density; and ability to produce printheads with densely packed ink channels, among others. 
Few of the developments influencing the market’s potential for growth include innovation in ink chemistry enabling printing on various substrates; developments in MEMS fabrication techniques; and growing investments in R&D efforts targeted to overcome technical challenges associated with printhead designs. The United States represents the largest market worldwide supported by strong demand for inkjet and colour laser printers and related components including printheads. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 3.8% over the analysis period led by factors such as huge investments in MEMS product development and R&D, increase in government funding support for manufacturing companies and science and research centres, growing commercial momentum in printed electronics, technological awareness and financial support offered by governments.
