Global Commercial Printing Market Trends

The market is majorly driven by the retail, financial services, publishing, and food and beverage industries. The demand for packaging, wide-format printing, digital printing, and other promotional materials by the retail and food and beverage industries is a significant driver that aids in commercial printing market development.

 

With the rise in digitisation, customers are likely to follow more electronic versions of printed materials, such as e-annual reports, e-vouchers and e-catalogues, or to use more online platforms, such as email, the internet, or websites, rather than printing materials for consumers, which in turn affects the commercial printing market expansion. However, to counter the effect of the digitisation of commercial printing, service providers are including value-added services, such as data management, consulting, and e-publishing, to retain their clients and to increase the commercial printing market growth.

 

Meanwhile, major segments, such as labels, packaging materials, and books for educational institutes, still have sustained demand for commercial printing. A variety of value-added services, such as packaging, distribution, consultancy, graphic design, and data processing services, help manufacturers to provide their customers with creative services. Moreover, market players compete by supplying their customers with these value-added services at reasonable rates and help consumers integrate various print-related operations into one unified service provider. These strategies can increase the commercial printing market value in future.

 

Moreover, the implementation of environmentally friendly methods, such as soy ink instead of conventional petroleum-based ink, has reduced the environmental footprint of the printing industry and allowed both consumers and suppliers to reduce carbon emissions. This trend is expected to aid the overall market over the forecast period.
