7.Why South African Garment Printers Are Increasingly Adopting DTF Technology
Demand for personalized apparel, promotional products, sportswear, school uniforms, and print-on-demand services continues to support the adoption of digital garment decoration technologies across South Africa.
According to Grand View Research, the South Africa Digital Textile Printing Market generated approximately USD 73.4 million in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately USD 109.3 million by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7.0% from 2025 to 2030.
