Industry Overview

Thermal transfer paper is a type of special paper with transfer printing capabilities. Transfer printing refers to a printing method where special thermal transfer inks print various images and texts onto a specific type of paper, and then, under corresponding temperatures and pressure, the images are transferred to a substrate. This type of paper used for bearing the images is known as thermal transfer paper. Based on differences in the base paper's thickness and usage, thermal transfer paper can be divided into Transfer Printing Paper, Heat Transfer Paper, and Digital Inkjet Paper. Transfer printing paper is mainly used for fabrics, where images are transferred onto clothing through sublimation. Heat transfer paper is used to transfer patterns onto aluminum alloy doors, windows, ceramics, and other daily items. Digital inkjet paper is primarily used for outdoor advertisements.

Thermal transfer paper is used for printing on fabrics, ceramics, metals, and plastic stools. Based on its process and manufacturing methods, the uses of thermal transfer paper can be divided into two categories:

The first is for large-scale industrial production, such as printing images on clothing and making advertising banners. This requires large format inkjet printers and heat transfer machines.

The second category is for personalized transfers, where people design their images and transfer them to objects like mugs or ceramic plates with special coatings using heat presses or mug printers.

In 2022, China's thermal transfer paper production reached 248,000 tons, while demand was around 231,000 tons. The average market price was about ¥9,100 CNY ($1,244 USD) per ton.

Market Growth and Future Trends

The market scale of the thermal transfer paper industry is continuously expanding. In the future, with the growing popularity of printers and increasing demands for printing quality, the demand for thermal transfer paper is expected to keep rising. Meanwhile, as environmental awareness grows and technology continuously advances, the environmental and technical performance of thermal transfer paper will further improve, promoting the industry's development. In 2022, China's thermal transfer paper market reached ¥1.847 billion CNY ($252 million USD), a year-on-year increase of 9.31%. From 2015 to 2022, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the market was approximately 9.47%.

Competitive Landscape

China's thermal transfer paper industry, although starting relatively late, has seen rapid expansion due to high profitability and promising market prospects. Over the past few years, fierce market competition and rapid industrial upgrading have gradually led to the formation of several large-scale thermal transfer paper manufacturers, with the market becoming increasingly concentrated. The main competitive players in the thermal transfer paper market include Xianhe Shares (仙鹤股份), Guanhao High-tech (冠豪高新), Wuzhou Specialty Paper (五洲特纸), with market shares of 33.15%, 28.56%, 23.15%, and 15.14% respectively.

Industry Methods for Thermal Transfer

The report also provides an in-depth look at the different methods for thermal transfer. Some of these methods include:

Sublimation Method: The most common approach, which uses the sublimation characteristics of special dyes with a particle size of 250-400 nm. The dye sublimates when heated to 200-230°C for 20-30 seconds and is transferred onto the substrate.

Thermal Transfer Method: Here, the dye penetrates the fabric using heat, and then, through washing or steaming, the transferred dye is fixed permanently.

Melt Transfer Method: The oil layer of the transfer paper melts when exposed to heat, transferring the pattern to the fabric, requiring higher pressure to maintain the image's clarity.

Oil Layer Separation: This method uses high pressure to separate the oil layer of the transfer paper, allowing for the transfer of designs onto the substrate.

This report by Chinacuity and its teams in China is rich in content, data-driven, and offers valuable insights for the industry.
