How to choose the right digital corrugated box printing equipment?
Development status of packaging printing industry
According to the latest research report of the Smithers Peel Institute , an international market research institute, "The Future of the Global Printing Market", the global printing industry's output value will increase by 0.8% year-on-year in the next 5 years. Compared with US $ 785 billion in 2017, it is expected to increase to US $ 814.5 billion by 2022, which indicates that the value-added potential of the industry still exists.
The report also pointed out that the output value of the digital printing industry in 2013 was only 131.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the output value is expected to increase to 188.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4%. The rapid development of digital printing has determined its rise in the entire printing market share. It is expected that by 2018, the digital printing industry market share will increase from 9.8% in 2008 to 20.6%. Between the year of 2008 and 2017, the global offset printing volume has declined. It is also expected that by 2018, it will decline by 10.2% in total, and the digital printing volume will increase by 68.1%, which showing the development potential of digital printing.
