Sales of DTG printers to e‑commerce fulfillment centers have tripled over the past two years, according to data from IDC, as print‑on‑demand (POD) giants and third‑party logistics providers invest heavily in in‑house garment decoration capacity. Instead of outsourcing to specialty printers, large POD companies are integrating DTG production into their fulfillment warehouses to reduce turnaround times and increase margins. This vertical integration has driven demand for high‑speed, multi‑head DTG machines capable of 24/7 operation with minimal manual intervention.
For manufacturers of Xinflying DTG printers, this trend represents a shift from small‑shop customers to industrial accounts. The requirements are different: patikimumas, uptime, automated maintenance, and seamless integration with order management systems. In response, printer makers have introduced features such as automatic printhead capping, inline pre‑treatment, and API connectivity. The fulfillment center segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% through 2030, outpacing the overall DTG market. As more brands adopt just‑in‑time manufacturing, the need for localized, automated DTG production will only increase.
