2023 Print Census shows rising optimism & revenues

Globally conducted by FESPA in partnership with InfoTrends, a division of Keypoint Intelligence, 2023 Print Census has polled 1,778 printers and sign makers from over 120 countries and produced an encouraging report that is free to FESPA members. The cost of ensuring sustainability remains an area of concern. FESPA has published the headline findings of its census, highlighting the impact of rising sustainability demands and evolving customer requirements on business models and investment plans.

This year’s census further explored the long-term trends that emerged from the analysis of the 2018 Print Census, including revenue and industry outlook, the rise of environmental pressures, changing customer demands, future investment and purchasing plans, and business models and strategies. The printers and sign makers participated in the survey represented a 26.5 percent increase from the last Print Census published in May 2018. Respondents defined their business focus as graphics (61 percent), signage (26 percent), textile (24 percent) and industrial (14 percent).
