Running out of ink: Printers' sales slide as digital communication continues to take over

The Printing industry's performance has been constrained over the past five years, due to the popularity of digital alternatives to printed materials. Demand for printed materials has fallen over the period as consumers and businesses have gradually transitioned towards trading online. Demand from downstream markets has been edging downwards due to the growth in popularity of reading online and through other electronic alternatives. Industry revenue is anticipated to tumble at a compound annual rate of 4% over the five years through 2023-24 to £9.2 billion.

Companies in this industry print books, magazines, annual reports, brochures, labels, tags, posters, diaries, calendars, maps, stamps, security papers, cheques, banknotes and other products. The industry excludes the printing of newspapers and periodicals that appear four or more times a week.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
