The Commercial Printing Market Report is Segmented by Printing Type (Offset Lithography, Digital Inkjet, Flexographic, Screen, and More), Application (Packaging, Advertising, Publishing, and More), Print Material (Paper and Cardboard, Fabric and Textiles, and More), Format (Large-Format Printing, and More) and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa).

Printing is in the midst of a considerable and steady decline as digital products and services continue to displace printed materials. The two largest markets, advertising and publishing, have accelerated their online footprint, reducing printing demand. Recent years have witnessed a significant decline in newspaper and magazine subscriptions, exacerbating the challenges for printers. Even though printing technology has advanced, demand for traditional print has plummeted, leaving printers with excess capacity and intensifying price pressures. Shaky corporate profit, coupled with increased interest rates, has caused overall advertising expenditure to plummet. Other products, like retail catalogs and banking forms, have also experienced low demand because of the increased prevalence of e-commerce and online financial transactions. These trends and consumer habits have caused revenue to fall at a CAGR of 2.8% to an estimated $76.7 billion over the past five years, including an estimated 4.5% slump in 2025. Higher input costs and consumers’ shift to digital materials have also harmed profit for printing services. Rising paper prices, coupled with supply chain disruptions, have squeezed profit, compelling companies to seek local suppliers and explore alternative materials. The industry's players have turned to diversification, expanding into areas like web hosting and marketing services. Companies have increasingly moved into value-added creative and logistics services to offset declining print demand and provide a one-stop shop that strengthens customer relationships. Dropping demand and price pressures from excess capacity have forced printers to consolidate to maintain profit, with the number of establishments and employees declining in recent years. Greater proliferation of internal technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), continues to impact printers’ internal workflows, boosting efficiency and lowering dependence on manual labor. Moving forward, printing services face a continuous decline fueled by consumer actions and digitization trends. Substitutes for commercially printed material, like online media, will continue to adversely affect demand. Strained profit in downstream newspaper and magazine markets may lead publishers to outsource more printing, presenting printers with short-term opportunities even as the declining publishing market remains a long-term threat. Over the next five years, revenue is expected to sink at a CAGR of 6.0% to an estimated $56.2 billion in 2030.

The Global Commercial Printing industry has faced significant challenges recently, driven largely by the rapid shift to digital media. Demand for the industry's key products, such as newspaper and magazine subscriptions, has consistently declined. The rise of digital alternatives has siphoned off readers and advertisers, resulting in substantial decreases in revenue and inhibiting profit. While growth in customers from emerging markets has provided some relief, their growth hasn't been sufficient to offset losses in more developed regions. During the current period, the industry's fortunes have been heavily influenced by economic conditions. The onset of the pandemic saw revenues plunge because of lockdowns and reduced business activities. As economies began to recover, a surge in consumer spending bolstered corporate profit, leading to a modest uptick in revenue in 2021—the first such increase in a decade. These gains were short-lived as economic growth decelerated, influenced by rising interest rates and recessionary fears. Overall, revenue for global commercial printing companies has dropped at a CAGR of 3.6% during the current period, reaching $331.2 billion in 2024. This includes a 4.2% decline in revenue in that year. A complex landscape for printers lies ahead. Growing digital access poses a continual threat to traditional printed products. Advanced digital printing technologies will offer opportunities for printers to provide more customized and efficient services, potentially mitigating some revenue declines. On top of this, the adoption of cloud computing, AI and automation will transform operational efficiencies, reducing costs and improving turnaround times. A global push for sustainability will lead to greater investment in eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient processes, aligning with stricter environmental regulations. Overall, revenue for global commercial printers will plunge at a CAGR of 4.5% during the outlook period, reaching $262.6 billion in 2029.
