The printing industry is characterised by a wide variety of products and a broad customer base, meaning that demand for the services of industry players is not dependent on just one customer group or influencing factor. Nevertheless, advancing digitalisation has led to an average decline in industry revenue of 1.9% per year in the period from 2020 to 2025. The declining demand for print products primarily affects the printing of books and magazines, as their content is increasingly being read online or as e-books. However, despite falling print orders and price increases for input factors such as paper and ink, the share of revenue accounted for by the profit margin has remained relatively stable since 2020. In 2025, turnover in the printing industry is expected to fall by 1.4% to 14 billion euros. One of the reasons for the decline in turnover in the current year is consumers' reluctance to spend money on non-essential products such as magazines. Among other things, this is due to the high level of inflation in recent years and the growing number of free information offerings on the internet.While the product groups of books and magazines account for an ever smaller share of industry sales, the advertising materials, labels and packaging printed by industry players are becoming increasingly important. The number of print orders for advertising materials and other printed products has declined during the coronavirus crisis. Print shops specialising in labels and packaging, on the other hand, have seen a slight improvement in their order situation thanks to the flourishing online trade. As digitalisation is expected to continue to increase in the coming years and demand for printed books and magazines is decreasing, label and packaging printing is likely to remain one of the areas with the greatest revenue security in this industry in the future. For the period from 2025 to 2030, a further development and increasing spread and use of digital media is expected, combined with a sustained decline in demand for print products. As a result, industry revenue is also likely to fall further over the next five years, probably by an average of 3.3% per year, and will therefore only amount to 11.8 billion euros in 2030. This development is likely to result in some overcapacity in the industry, which could lead to further market exits by printing companies in the future.

Demand for the services of industry players is heavily dependent on the printing and publishing sector. The decline in the volume of print orders over the past few years has therefore also had a negative impact on demand for the services of industry players. In the period from 2019 to 2024, turnover in the industry fell by an average of 3.7% per year. In 2020, the coronavirus crisis had a particularly negative impact on the printing industry and other important customer markets, and therefore also on sales in the print and media prepress sector. Although the industry's customer markets have already largely recovered from the consequences of the pandemic, industry turnover is expected to fall by 2.7% to 964.6 million euros in the current year.Due to advancing digitalisation and the resulting increase in the use of digital media, the demand for print products has been declining for several years now. As a result, both print shops and publishers are increasingly carrying out pre-press services in-house instead of outsourcing them to print and media prepress companies. Due to the development of ever better and easier-to-use desktop publishing applications, it is also becoming increasingly easy for other customers of industry players to carry out their own image and text processing. If the content produced is only published digitally, it is only necessary to commission specialised service providers for particularly high-quality products. In the period from 2024 to 2029, industry revenue in the print and media prepress sector is expected to fall by an average of 2.9% per year to 830.6 million euros. Digitalisation has gained significant momentum as a result of the pandemic and is likely to continue to progress rapidly in the coming years. This development is likely to contribute to a further decline in the volume of print products in the future, which should also have a negative impact on demand for the services of print and media prepress companies.

Laser printing, a non-impact technology, utilizes electrophotography or electrostatic charges for printing. In laser printing, a laser beam induces charges, enabling precise printing. This technology caters to diverse applications, including variable data and wide-format printing. Compared to inkjet and LED printing, laser printing boasts several advantages. Its speed is unparalleled, as the laser beam moves swiftly and prints at a greater velocity. The consistent laser beam di

Newspapers and other printed publications that appear at least four times a week are printed in this sector. In contrast to other printing sectors, where digital printing is on the rise, newspaper printing still mainly uses the indirect flat printing process of offset printing. The demand for printed newspapers has been declining steadily for several years due to the advancing digitalisation and the resulting change in consumer and publisher behaviour. This trend was further intensified in 2020 by the measures taken to contain the coronavirus pandemic and has contributed to a sharp decline in sales. With more people working from home and fewer commuters travelling as a result, significantly fewer printed newspapers were sold. In the current year, industry sales are expected to fall by 1.7% to 954.7 million euros. In the period from 2018 to 2023, revenue in newspaper printing fell by an average of 6.5% per year.The only clients of the companies in this sector are the newspaper publishers. In recent years, they have felt the effects of increasing digitalisation in the form of falling sales figures and have reacted by printing smaller print runs. As a result of digitalisation, consumers are increasingly using the Internet as a source of information. The change in consumer behaviour has put publishers under pressure and they are increasingly shifting their offerings from printed to digital newspaper editions and additional online content. As a result, the volume of print orders continues to decline, which is having a negative impact on print shops' sales. At the same time, rising paper prices have put pressure on the profit margins of industry players in recent years. As paper, together with ink, is the most important input factor in newspaper printing, the industry's material costs often rise in line with the producer price for paper. Due to the declining demand for print products, there has also been an acute shortage of waste paper since last year, which is having a particularly severe impact on the industry as newsprint is primarily made from waste paper fibres.For the period from 2023 to 2028, IBISWorld anticipates an average decline in revenue of 5.5% per year to EUR 719.2 million in 2028. This development is due to the expected further decline in demand for print media in the future and the resulting decline in order volumes for newspaper printers. This declining order volume is likely to lead to further overcapacity and thus be the reason for the falling number of industry players over the next five years.
