Drupa Report Indicates Stable Global Print Industry
The 6th drupa Global Trends Report, available at drupa.com,
indicates the global print industry is in stable condition overall.
More than 700 printers and 200 suppliers participated in the
annual survey.
* Global figures remain positive overall, with some regions
and markets doing better than others
* Political and economic concerns for the future dampen
otherwise positive prospects for the majority
Globally, 40 percent of printers stated their company
economic condition was "good" in 2018 compared to 13
percent who described their condition as "poor;" the rest
rated it as "satisfactory." This results in a positive net balance
of 27 percent. For suppliers, the positive net balance was 19
percent. Both groups remain optimistic, with 50 percent
expecting better conditions in 2019.
North America continued to show strong growth in 2018,
Europe and Australia had steady growth, while Asia, the
Middle East, and South and Central America were cautious
and Africa was in decline. The 2018 results reflect the
established pattern in most regions, although the decline has
expanded in the Middle East and South and Central America.
According to the survey, most printers make money
despite pressure on margins. Globally, there was a small
increase in prices, despite substantial increases in substrate
prices. Suppliers also saw revenues and prices increase
globally but with an even sharper decline in margins.
Conventional print volumes continue a slow decline. In
2013, 23 percent of printers reported that digital print was
more than 25 percent of their production. In 2018, the
proportion of printers had increased to 29 percent.
Web-to-print volumes are increasing slowly. In 2014, 17
percent of participants with web-to-print offerings reported
more than 25 percent of jobs came from that source. By 2018,
participants had increased to 23 percent. Yet the proportion
of printers with web-to-print installations is static - 25
percent in 2014 and 25 percent in 2018.
Forty one percent of printers spent more money in 2018
than in 2017; 15 percent spent less and expenditures grew in
all regions except Africa.
