Keypoint Intelligence Forecasts Digital Printing Trends

Introduction
Keypoint Intelligence has recently published its latest forecasts focusing on the On Demand Printing and Publishing sectors within the United States and Western Europe. These insights shine a light on how the production printing industry is evolving up to 2029, highlighting shifts in customer expectations, technological advancements, and economic influences reshaping the print marketplace.

Key Highlights from the Forecasts
Several noteworthy trends emerged from the forecasts, including:
1. Consolidation of Digital Printing Volumes: One of the primary drivers behind the ongoing shift is the surge in online purchases, alongside the centralization and outsourcing of production printing. This has led to a consolidation of digital printing volumes, impacting the way businesses operate in the sector.
2. Expansion of Large Production Color Inkjet: The report notes significant growth in large production color inkjet printing technology. This expansion can be linked to the consolidation of digital printing and a determined shift from analog methods to large production digital printing. Such a move is prompted by an expected rise in demand for short-print runs and a decrease in the total cost of ownership (TCO) for digital printing solutions.
3. Hardware Placements vs. Print Volumes: Despite an overall increase in print volumes, the growth rate of hardware placements for large production print technologies is witnessing a slowdown. This is due to the enhanced utilization of existing equipment as printing service providers (PSPs) seek to maximize returns on their current investments.
4. Pressure in Offset Environments: Additionally, the forecasts stress that labor and cost pressures experienced within offset printing environments are further fueling the transition to digital print platforms.
