Commercial Print Services Category - Procurement Intelligence

The commercial print services category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2023 to 2030. APAC accounts for the largest share of the category. The increasing use of printing technology for promotional activities, as well as the growing acceptance of digital printing, are driving category growth. Companies are focusing on adopting various strategies such as investments, partnerships, and mergers acquisitions. For instance, in November 2022, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a marketer of printing and packaging applications for industrial and commercial use, announced that it had entered into a partnership with Elastic Path to enhance its B2B commerce experience by implementing and optimizing a multi-vendor approach.

Print-on-demand (POD) is a business model that enables product customization and order-by-order sales. It is also an environmentally sustainable model. To lessen its influence on the environment, it employs water-saving printing methods and sends products in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones.
