Market Dynamics:Driver:Increasing advertising and marketing activities
As businesses intensify their efforts to capture consumer attention and enhance brand visibility, there is a heightened demand for printed signage materials like banners, posters, and billboards. These materials serve as impactful communication tools, providing a visual and informational medium for promotional campaigns.

Restraint:Rise of virtual advertising
Digital displays that are dynamic and interactive are replacing printed signage in enterprises as they adopt virtual and augmented reality. The static nature of printed materials is challenged by virtual advertising, which provides immersive and adaptable alternatives. Marketing funds may be diverted from physical signage in response to the growing desire for virtual experiences, which would affect the traditional market.
Opportunity:Digital printing advancements

Threat:Competition from In-house printing
In-house operations offer greater flexibility, customisation, and quality control. This trend challenges traditional external printing providers, necessitating strategic differentiation through specialised services, industry expertise, and value-added offerings. Also, some businesses prefer to have direct control over the entire printing process, reducing the risks associated with outsourcing, such as variations in quality, communication challenges, and potential delays. Therefore, these factors are hampering market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a temporary downturn due to reduced demand in sectors like retail and events. Lockdowns and supply chain disruptions affected production and distribution. However, the emphasis on health and safety signage, increased demand for packaging materials in e-commerce, and a gradual recovery in outdoor advertising offered some resilience.
