The Home Décor marketplace has a global value of almost $664 Billion dollars at full retail value. Once dominated by an established analogue supply route, which supplied fabrics direct to the buyer for multiple products, it is now being disrupted by Digital Print Technologies and offers both the supplier and the retailer unprecedented opportunities
Interior Décor encompasses a myriad of products, Furniture, Drapes, Curtains, Bedding, Wallpaper, Carpets, the product list is almost endless (as is the printed meterage) and yet every sector has a unique micro climate. Each sector has defined expectations for design and product specification, across thousands of SKU’s and performance standards.
The market has also witnesses falling volumes (by design) and an increasing need for design diversity. One of the first sectors to embrace this change and move to rationalizing inventory was the Polyester sector, typically Home and Contract Furnishings. Originally using analogue technology, many have now converted to Digital Dye sublimation printing for speed of delivery and design variance, printing the design onto the transfer paper and not immediately transferring onto the fabric, preferring to enable at source on demand.
An important step for the buyer or retailer in order to control manufacturing costs. In holding the printed paper in stock many companies now source their printed transfer paper worldwide, and often only transfer onto the required fabric in the country of manufacture. We also see this action in the fashion industry, to control manufacturing in the country of origin, offering speedy delivery and removing the burden of holding expensive printed fabric stocks. This method offers an efficient sourcing route, and has generated huge volumes for the transfer printer worldwide.
As the Interior Décor marketplace shifts towards customization across all products and substrates, (a reflection of consumer and manufacturing trends in the world of Fashion) businesses now must look deeper and wider for efficient print routes. The Interior Industry faces the same issues as the Fashion Industry in so many respects, and companies large and small now have to manufacture sustainably.
Digital Textile Printing technologies not only offer a sustainable method of production but are also incredibly flexible. In a new world of Print on Demand, utilizing digital technologies the Interior marketplace is transforming into a clean, efficient and innovative sector, that’s in tune with its consumers buying behavior and offers new emerging technologies a platform for growth.
With so many different applications for print, the Interior marketplace has taken time to embrace the benefits of digital technology compared to the world of Fashion. However, as the consumer demands design diversity from the Interior sector, the Textile supplier too must change their business model.
Heimtextil has been the mecca for the Home Interiors Industry for over many years. It’s a staple in both the Designer, Manufacture and the Retailers diary, and brings together the Décor industry in Frankfurt once a year. As our industry flexes to embrace change it’s never been more important to stay ahead and informed of new technologies. The Millennial buyer seeks a sustainable lifestyle, and that also means that we have to provide information and access to innovations in an unconvoluted format. For this reason, Heimtextil created a new hall for 2019 and brought the Designer, Digital Print Technologies and Trends to one central location to deliver insight and access to the innovations that we all need to inform and grow commerce.
Bridging the gap between Creation, production and Innovation the hall provided a forum for conversation and importantly access to the technology that will transform our industry. I caught up with Mark Sollman, Applications Manager for Mimaki to give us an insight into his experience:
Mimaki technology offers multiple Digital printing solutions for Home Décor, and as a company are trailblazing the interior sector with new applications. Can you tell us about your favorite applications and why?
“At this Heimtextil, we focused specifically on applications and on showing what our machines can create. Mimaki has a wide range of innovative print technologies and our products serve various markets, including textile, sign graphics, industrial and since last year 3D markets.
This year, at Heimtextil, we collaborated with three designers working in various disciplines: Fashion, Interior Design, and Art. They were really involved in the projects and each of them brought something unique to our application areas.
As Heimtextil is really about interior design and home décor, I was personally pleased with the Interior Design area, in which we collaborated with Claire Vos. Her work ‘The Dressing Room’ featured digitally printed fabrics made into various applications and other works from other artists, yet the space was very cohesive. Our team was also extremely happy with the result of the printed copper foil featured on the walls at the Art area. We printed the copper foil using our award-winning UCJV300 UV printer with white ink. We then applied it to the walls and ceiling at the Art area, combined with designs by Dutch visual artist Sigrid Calon.”
In collaboration with three Designers, Mimaki created a number of Inspiring, innovative roomsets, tell us more?
“Since we have a wide range of machines and technologies, the challenge for us was how we can show all of our print capabilities on our stand and make it interesting for the visitors. In the end, we decided to develop three separate application areas in close collaboration with three designers: Interior Design by Claire Vos, Art by Sigrid Calon, and Fashion by Tessa Koops. These celebrated designers have earned their stripes in their respective disciplines, and yet they were very eager to work with us. They were actually impressed by our extensive product portfolio and the endless possibilities that Mimaki machines can offer.
For Claire Vos, for example, we used sublimation printing to create the voile and curtains in the Interior Design area. On the other hand, in the Art area, we showed copper wallpaper and paintings created using our UV print technology, a large 2x2m piece of digitally printed textile featuring our fluorescent inks, as well as 3D printed art pieces. The designers were all very involved in realizing this project and delightful to work with. Their creative designs and works really highlight our diverse print capabilities.”
This year the Digital Technology and the Designers exhibited side by side in Hall 3.0 which offers a new location and demographic to the Heimtextil visitor. Did that work, and what was the reaction from the Design community and the Textile manufacturers?
“As the biggest international trade fair for home and contract textiles, Heimtextil acts as the season opener for new trends and textile innovations. For us it is always a pleasure to connect with designers and innovators who pretty much can influence the new trends for the upcoming year.
On top of that, we notice that more and more end users who are currently outsourcing their print production, start to think of using digital print technology to bring the production in-house. In the textile market, there is a growing demand for shorter run, faster delivery and more personalized production of textiles. Digital textile printing is the key to facilitating these demands.” Mark Sollman | Applications Manager | Mimaki
Digital Technologies are set to disrupt the Interior sector, offering the marketplace a new suite of tools for mass manufacture, personalization and customization
We asked Fulvio Alvisi (Italian Textile Designers Association, President) Professor in Textile Design in IED (Milan, Italy) representing Epson about their vision for the future of Interiors?
“The digital printing used for all kind of applications and markets will increase in near future thanks to the opportunity this technique offers in terms of creativity. The interesting use of customized print for different fabrics, material and sizes could transform carpet, furniture, wallpaper in an “art opera”. At the beginning, the use will be easier for public spaces and contracts, but I think that this trend will arrive in residential projects sooner than we expect.
With this technology, creativity has no limits! Some examples: digital printing make wallpaper looks very real, especially when you print photos or photographic subjects. It is much easier to create optical illusions, as making a room look bigger. Same for curtains and carpets: the advantages are not only the possibility to get printouts of many different sizes but also the possibility to print on new materials with high quality results. I am thinking at blackout, anti-noise, purifying air materials that can enhance people’s well-being.
The challenge is to use high technology materials and offer hand-made looking products to customers. An example? Materials that simulate the appearance of natural fibers or the imperfections of weaving and printing such as, for carpets, the idea of preciousness.
I image a new graphic language that uses the colors in a new original way, with no limitation in the color numbers. The big size of the carpet and the combination of printing with other processes needs also the development of new technology and machines. The same concept can be applied also to furniture and generally to all home textile items: towels, bedding, tablecloths.
To sum up, I think the market’s growth is the result of the printing applications’ growth. The digital printing will be a success if we make it clear to the end users the quality, both in terms of eco sustainability and well-being, in combination with the concepts of hand-made and exclusive. We need to find the way to help customers to perceive the quality: the design can be one of the keys to do that.” Fulvio Alvisi (I.T.D.A) | Epson
Digital print technology is seen by all as a disruptive innovation for the Textile Industry
Offering a diverse selection of technologies with multiple applications for all sectors and importantly, the tools to unlock the pre-established supply routes that can be applied to any business large or small. Therefore rationalizing the sector to enable flexible, sustainable manufacturing and entrepreneurial opportunities for all…

Colour Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
Print will always be the part of the garment people see first.
But the sum of all parts — the fabric, the trims, the fasteners, the finish — is what determines whether a design actually delivers on its promise. Brands that continue to treat colour as a single creative decision, rather than a coordinated technical discipline spanning their entire supply chain, will keep paying for it in re-dips, delays, and disappointed design teams.
A Century of Textiles, and an Ever-changing World
Few companies can trace their roots back more than a century and still count themselves among their industry's innovators. Texia, headquartered in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, is one of them.
But the story of Texia is not simply one of longevity.
It is a story of continual reinvention. As the textile industry has grown more global and competitive, Texia has repeatedly reshaped its business, investing in technology, developing its own brands, and placing sustainability at the centre of its mission. In doing so, it offers a compelling example of how a heritage manufacturer can lead rather than follow through a period of profound industry change. Image Credit: Texia
What are we craving Ultimately?
The instinct to slow down while simultaneously optimising every measurable aspect of life isn't a passing curiosity. It's a structural response to a world that feels increasingly unstable, and it's reshaping what people expect from their homes, hotels, workplaces and healthcare environments alike.
For the design and manufacturing sectors, this means rethinking both product and process.
The Structual Shift is Real and its Already Here
Volumes are moving east, where digital production is accelerating rapidly. Consumer behaviour has shifted.
Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles, and an expectation of near-instant responsiveness. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, with supply chain transparency now a legal and commercial fact in many markets. And margins? They are under sustained, structural pressure.
This is not a temporary disruption. It is a fundamental reordering of how textile manufacturing must operate.
The Challenge: Standing Firm as the Industry Shifts
The wallpaper landscape has changed dramatically. Digital printing has lowered the barrier to entry, spawning countless direct-to-consumer brands and pushing much of the market towards faster, cheaper production.
At the same time, manufacturing in the UK has grown steadily harder - rising minimum wage, national insurance, energy and substrate costs all bear down on margins. Surface Print have embraced all of these challenges - and stand resolutely prepared for the future.
From Helsinki's printing mill to Paris's Le Marais, discover how Marimekko is scaling a design-led brand with purpose, craft, and bold innovation.
But what makes Marimekko's story compelling is not just its aesthetic legacy?
The word "toxic" carries weight. It conjures danger, harm, and things best avoided.
“Yet in the textile industry - Where between 3,000 and 10,000 chemicals move through the supply chain, a reflexive fear of the term is one of our biggest obstacles to progress.”
This article distils the key takeaways and what buyers, designers, and brands should be asking right now.
What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
What once was a theoretical sustainability goal seems to have shifted into an active regulatory reality.
Is the Textile Market Finally Recovering?
After a difficult few years, there are genuine reasons for optimism. Duncan was candid about the challenges: "The market for textiles has been very difficult over the last three years. I'm not going to hide the truth there. But the tide is turning.“
A profound shift is currently reshaping the sector
Changing consumer expectations demand greater design diversity, faster turnaround times, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
To thrive, interior brands must adapt their supply chains, bringing production closer to the end consumer and moving away from bulk manufacturing.
Digital textile printing offers a definitive solution to these operational bottlenecks.
Digital transformation doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates - one innovation at a time - until an entire industry looks back and realises the ground has shifted beneath its feet. That's precisely where textiles stands today.
The conversations happening now about AI, automation, sustainability, and digital product passports are not theoretical. They are shaping decisions being made on factory floors and in boardrooms right now.
“By leveraging advanced digital textile printing, Marylene Madou has successfully merged traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Her approach offers a blueprint for how independent designers can scale their brands globally while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.”
The textile industry is undergoing a vital transformation. As the insights from Techtextil and Texprocess reveal, the path forward relies on a combination of sustainable hardware, intelligent chemistry, and seamless digital workflows.
From Zimmer's industrial-scale energy reductions and Stratasys's on-demand 3D embellishments, to Kornit's single-step technical printing and the unified digital ecosystems of NedGraphics and Optitex, the tools for change are here. To stay competitive, brands and manufacturers must adopt these innovations, moving away from fragmented, wasteful processes towards a truly connected, circular economy.
Friedmans stands as a testament to the power of combining traditional textile knowledge with forward-thinking innovation.
“Operating from their UK headquarters, Friedmans now serves a diverse array of sectors, including swimwear, dance, entertainment, sportswear, interior decor, prosthetics, and even pet apparel. With a strategic supply chain that reliably serves clients worldwide”
The apparel decoration industry is decisively moving away from isolated, analogue production tools toward connected digital manufacturing environments.
"Kornit’s unwavering commitment to transformative technology continues to disrupt the status quo. For business leaders and innovators ready to capture the future of apparel manufacturing, the path forward is clear”
The Urgent Need for Sustainability at Scale
The transformation at Coats provides a vital blueprint for the wider textile and apparel sector. True sustainability cannot be achieved in silos. As Dearing emphasised:
“Cross-industry collaboration is the engine of meaningful change. Brands, machinery suppliers, chemical providers, and fibre producers must act as an interconnected ecosystem”
Today’s customers demand superior product quality, real-time data visibility, and lightning-fast turnaround times.
For large-scale garment decorators, managing these expectations while balancing seasonal demand fluctuations - such as the massive surges seen during Black Friday - presents a monumental challenge.
"Relying on transactional vendor relationships and outdated legacy equipment is no longer sufficient to secure long-term stability and growth.”
Printing method is never a secondary detail. It shapes the entire life cycle of a product, from concept to customer. In today’s fashion industry, where margins are tighter and speed matters more than ever, technical knowledge has become a competitive advantage.
“The future of textile design belongs to professionals who can combine creativity with execution, aesthetics with practicality, and vision with production reality”.
