With over 25,000 companies left operating in the industry, the number has been steadily consolidating for decades due to advancements in digital technology. That consolidation sped up during COVID-19 as scores of print shops were forced to close due to manpower issues, lockdown restrictions, and clients’ canceled orders to weather the pandemic themselves. Experts expect there will still be a strong demand for qualified print industry professionals as the average age of such professionals is rising fast.

Another strong growth factor is that more print shops are geared for smaller, more personalized runs and are more integrated into receiving orders online, so the E-Commerce side of the business is showing a lot of promise. Some industry analysts say that overall online orders rose by 40% compared to pre-pandemic levels.
