The World Textile Information Network (WTiN) will host Digital Textile Printing Week 2026 from 23–27 March. The virtual event will spotlight the future of digital textile printing (DTP), focusing on technology trends, financial performance and high-growth opportunities across global markets.
Stronger Business Case for DTP Investment
As digital textile printing continues to mature, the commercial benefits are becoming clearer. New workflows, automation and smarter technologies are boosting efficiency and improving profitability. These shifts are opening opportunities in both established and emerging markets.
Cost pressures, regulatory changes and evolving consumer expectations now demand deeper cross-industry collaboration. Therefore, the event will unite brands, print service providers (PSPs), technology developers and investors to understand where growth and efficiency meet.
“Efficiency, not excess, defines competitiveness in today’s digital textile printing market,” said Joseph Link, Senior Editor & Digital Textiles Lead at WTiN. He noted that while sustainability still matters, decision-makers now prioritise innovation that improves profit and operational clarity.
Why the Industry Needs This Conference
With rising energy costs, tighter margins and fast-changing technologies, companies must focus on financial efficiency. Although sustainability remains important, leaders want solutions that offer a clear return on investment.
DTP Week 2026 will provide the strategic insights needed to evaluate technologies, identify profitable markets and choose workflows that deliver measurable economic value.
