Web-to-Print 전망(-2028년)

Report Features:

• Web-to-print is the commercial printing of products ordered through a specialist e-commerce platform

• In 2023 the market for web-to-print will total almost $25.1 billion, up from $21.4 billion in 2018

• The sector has grown significantly faster than the overall print and packaging markets and this trend will continue to 2028 with an average CAGR of 5.6% in value, and 7.1% in print volume.

The web-to-print sector encompasses a broad product range, with many successful print companies developing their routes to market, enabling consumers to purchase high-quality printed items at low cost. There is traditional business-to-business printing, way beyond efficient business card production. As digital workflows developed to handle artwork for these jobs the manufacturers changed traditional print production to increase efficiency. They automated prepress and ganged multiple jobs to share make-ready costs, significantly reducing costs for short to medium run jobs. To grow their businesses the pioneers offered trade printing services to other print providers and print management companies, making standard products very effectively.

Our exclusive content

• Web-to-print is the only route to market for some companies, and is used by many others looking to improve the levels of service they offer to their customers without increasing their administrative staffing costs

• As the technology has matured the make or buy decision for many print service providers has become a difficult strategic choice

• A growing number of companies are choosing to use trade print suppliers, focusing on the customer relationship rather than print manufacture.

What will you discover?

• Many of the leading suppliers are broadening their product mix, and players from other sectors are offering print services

• Beyond graphical print there is personalised and short-run printing of clothing, notably T-shirts; wallpaper and décor; and various promotional or miscellaneous items, including gifting applications

• Another key sector is in packaging and labels. In 2023 more packaging converters are offering new artisan brands the capability of specifying and ordering high-quality labels, boxes, pouches, bags, and cans in a more efficient process than that offered by traditional packaging converters.
