Dear Ralf,
My name is Kamei from PODi Association Japan to promote digital print technologies in print industry. Currently I am looking for the number of shares of digitally printed books in US and EU market. On this article, you mentioned "Smithers predicts an inkjet generated revenue of €4.2 billion in 2026, up from about €1.5 billion in 2020. This seems a bit overoptimistic, as this would represent about three quarters of the total book revenue of 2020. "
If you can share such numbers of recent years like 2017-2022, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
