Marketing banners and posters remain the most prominent large format applications due to their low cost and high impact on mass media. However, use of higher resolution LFPs and improved pigmented inks in the field of photography and fine art reproduction is gaining momentum.
The Indian LFP market is expected to demonstrate substantial growth as more and more multinational companies are entering the Indian market to set up their design centers. However, cost factor remains a major hurdle in the growth of the India LFP Market. New technologies are still to enter the India Printer market and players are facing stringent price competition.
