According to the research report "South Korea Digitally Printed Wallpaper Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the South Korea Digitally printed wallpaper market is expected to add more than USD 175 Million by 2028. The digitally printed wallpaper market is segmented based on substrate type. Some of the commonly used substrates for digitally printed wallpaper include vinyl, non-woven materials, paper, and others. The vinyl-based substrate has the highest market share in the digitally printed wallpaper market. This is due to several factors, including its durability, versatility, and ease of installation.

This makes vinyl-based wallpaper durable and long-lasting, which is an important factor for customers looking for high-quality, long-lasting wallpaper. However, nonwoven-based substrates are projected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Nonwoven substrates have a high level of dimensional stability, which means they are less likely to shrink or expand over time. This makes them ideal for use in high-humidity areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Furthermore, nonwoven substrates are easy to handle and can be easily cut to fit any wall size or shape. This makes them a popular choice for DIY projects and home renovation projects.

Based on printing technology, the market is divided into inkjet and electrophotography.

This has made it a popular choice among customers who are looking for visually appealing and high-quality wallpaper designs. However, electrophotography has shown significant growth in recent years due to several factors, including its high-quality printing, versatility, and speed. Furthermore, electrophotography can be used to print on a wide range of substrates, including glossy and matte papers, envelopes, card stocks, labels, and films.
