LEATHERHEAD, Surrey, UK and AKRON, Ohio, USA – Innovation will be essential to the ongoing evolution of the print segment: driving R&D that can meet the pressing demand for greater digitisation, sustainability, productivity and automation, according to the latest expert survey from Smithers.
For a global market worth $760.6 billion, this demand is especially pressing. Much of the print landscape has been fundamentally reshaped by Covid-19 with the emergence of new business and buying models, coupled to a decline in many traditional media segments.
In its latest in-depth technical investigation – Ten-Year Forecast of Disruptive Technologies in Print – Smithers assesses the market potential for 23 such innovations in the print industry through to 2031. This ranges from direct innovation fitted to print equipment, through to the integration of broader technology and Industry 4.0 concepts over the next decade.
Smithers’ expert analysis examines each of these, including their individual disruptive potential, cost of implementation, outstanding market and technical barriers, and leading contemporary technology suppliers. The trends identified are sub-divided into nine broad topics:
Smithers critically assesses the route to market for these technologies across the next decade and examines how they will disrupt conventional print business models – while creating new sales opportunities for OEMs, print service providers, and their customers.
All these innovations are investigated in depth in the new Smithers expert report –Ten-Year Forecast of Disruptive Technologies in Print. This comprehensive strategic forecasting tool combines Smithers’ expert market knowledge of the evolving post-Covid market place, with exclusive research from the leading edge of innovation in the print industry.
