Digital growing but conventional processes still dominate

The three reports have drawn on a global panel of about 750 printers to survey the state of the printing industry and expectations well-nigh its futurity over the three years leading up to drupa 2016. Sabine Geldermann, manager of drupa, Messe Düsseldorf, said, "This year's drupa is a showcase for the latest developments in the global printing industry. By commissioning the serial of drupa Global Trends reports, we are able to put these new developments into the context of the state of the industry as a whole."

Looking at some 14 common impress processes, the report found that digital technologies are growing fastest (on an average past 28% per annum), but that sheetfed first lithography is also seeing significant growth, especially in publishing (net positive growth of 7%) and packaging (+12%). Flexography is besides doing very well in packaging (+18%), and gravure is too seeing a small-scale merely definite growth (+iii%) in this sector. Functional press is a growth surface area for screen printing (+11%), though digital is very important here too.

While the bulk of turnover nonetheless comes from conventional print, at that place is a steady increase in the volume and value of digital print, with the exception of packaging where only 13% reported that information technology represents more than 25% of turnover, compared to 35% for commercial, 24% for publishing and 59% for functional. The ability of digital to impress variable content is important, with 59% of functional printers and 35% of commercial printers reporting that more than 25% of their digital turnover was variable. Web to print seems to have stalled, with only a pct point of growth from 2022 (25% of printers had information technology) to 2022 (26%). Simply Due north America as a region and functional print as a sector saw meaning increases in volumes going through spider web to impress.
