The rising demand for more promotional materials like brochures and booklets drives the commercial print services category

Commercial Print Services Category - Procurement Intelligence

The commercial print services category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2023 to 2030. APAC accounts for the largest share of the category. The increasing use of printing technology for promotional activities, as well as the growing acceptance of digital printing, are driving category growth. Companies are focusing on adopting various strategies such as investments, partnerships, and mergers & acquisitions. For instance, in November 2022, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a marketer of printing and packaging applications for industrial and commercial use, announced that it had entered into a partnership with Elastic Path to enhance its B2B commerce experience by implementing and optimizing a multi-vendor approach.

Print-on-demand (POD) is a business model that enables product customization and order-by-order sales. It is also an environmentally sustainable model. To lessen its influence on the environment, it employs water-saving printing methods and sends products in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones.

Companies are continuously focusing on partnering or developing their own technology. For instance,

• In September 2022, Westrock Company bought the HP PageWide T1190 inkjet digital press. The digital press would supplement the company’s present offset lithography, flexographic preprint, flexographic direct printing, and sheet-fed digital print processes all over its corrugated box plants and specialty facilities.

• In May 2022, Quad announced it is expanding its In-Store Solutions production offering with the addition of the Landa S10P Nanographic Printing Press. The Landa S10P, with its powerful digital front end, sets a new standard in printing speed, format, efficiency, and data-driven digital applications, expanding digital capabilities for B1-format printing and providing unlimited variable print options at very fast speeds and the highest quality available.

• In May 2022, SICURA Litho Pack ECO, a novel U.V. offset ink for non-food paper and board use, was launched by Siegwerk. It contains over 40% sustainable and plant-based components, according to a news release from Siegwerk. It says that the new UV offset ink series contains a greater proportion of sustainable organic ingredients than standard UV inks.

• In August 2021, Cimpress entered into a deal with Canon, a manufacturer of inkjet printers, digital cameras, and business printers. This agreement sought to supply its numerous enterprises. Cimpress also wishes to increase its position in the expanding online printing industry.
