Global Doctor Blade Market Size is estimated to expand rapidly in coming years, at a CAGR of 3.5 % from 2018 to 2027. In 2017, the global market valuation was USD 0.85 billion, and it is anticipated to be greater than USD xx.xx billion by 2027. Doctor blade is a thin steel, polymer, rubber and synthetic based. The highest demand growth in the coming years is projected to be seen from plastic blades. Similar with steel or plastic tips, they are highly preferable because they are extremely light and sleek and therefore safer. Composites include the use of synthetically processed plastic resin-infused glass and carbon fibers through pultruding technique.

Global Market Growth Opportunities (Revenue, Growth) By 2019-2027

The expected growth is driven by the high demand in packaging and publication areas for paints and coatings and rotogravures, flexographic printing and offset prints. The new trend in nanotechnology processing will further raise demands for improved physician blades. For nano-particles in the polymer resin matrix the molecular matrices are modified and the edge is more smooth, corrosion resistant and very efficient. Such blades are built for highly precise applications and in which the extraction of the tint is especially difficult.

Doctor blades are used in the printing process to remove excess ink from smooth or engraved regions of the image carrier. The main focus in development is Asia. Consumer output. On the other side, the low quality of steel and plasticity has contributed to limited production of doctor blade in the developing countries of Asia Pacific.
