Global Commercial Printing - Industry Market Research Report

Global Commercial Printing

Commercial printers have endured a contraction, with poor performance in the world's developed markets being partially offset by growth in developing markets. Developed markets have contended with high levels of market saturation and an increased preference among consumers for digital media, which has cut into demand for publishing, a key downstream industry. Online adoption and technologies like smartphones and tablet devices have constrained potential gains and diminished profitability. However, continued growth in sales of printed products in emerging markets has benefited the industry, alongside a growing focus on digital printing. Revenue is expected to contract at a CAGR of 2.3% to $350.3 billion through the end of 2023, despite forecast growth of 1.6% in 2023, when profit will account for 3.5% of revenue.
