SGIA's Q1 Benchmarking Report
SGIA has released 2019 Q1 Summary Reports focusing on products and markets for
the commercial, functional, apparel, and graphic and sign printing industries. The
Graphic and Sign Community Industry Survey is based on the responses of 121 PSPs.
Insights include:
* The average number of applications offered is eight, with the most popular being
window graphics (85.3 percent), banners/soft signage/flags (84.3 percent), and labels/
decals (76.5 percent).
* PSPs serve seven markets on average, with 65.3 percent imaging graphics for
educational institutions and 64.8 percent providing corporate branding.
* Signs and graphics companies report expanding into other markets including
commercial printing, functional printing, garment decoration, and package printing/
converting.
* Of the shops surveyed, 71.5 percent employ fewer than 20 staff members and 73
percent have revenue up to $3 million. The median sales revenue is $1.4 million.
* The majority (81.3 percent) of respondents provide fi nishing services; installation
is the most common offering followed by lamination.
* Four out of five PSPs rely mostly on digital technology.
* Most of the surveyed shops (67.5 percent) report positive sales growth during the
current year; looking to the future, 56.1 percent report a positive industry outlook.
The good old days are what got us to this point:
bankruptcies, buyouts, diminished revenues. To continue
with business-as-usual will just get us more of the
same. In order to survive, to thrive even, we must
change what we offer our customers. New products
based on their needs, not our capabilities. New solutions
rooted in digital technology. We must be innovative,
fearless, unsentimental. PRINT® 19 will be a forum on
this brave new world. See you there.
