Ralf,
Interesting article.
It would be really interesting to see how digital has impacted the print industry in Germany and the rest of Europe. How much of the revenue is from digital and how many companies are using digital technologies or are fully digital?
Thoughts?

Digital print has certainly impacted the industry. You can already see this in print volumes going down but revenues being more stable. There are no easy sources for the digital portion however. Plus, markets are very diverse (and would differ from country to country). It would require a deep dive and ideally focus on some segments. But I can certainly say that digital print is already used in all industry sectors.
