Industry Profile & Economics

Every quarter the Printing Industries of America’s Economic and Market Research team surveys members on current business conditions. We collect sales, expense, pricing, profitability, and employment data every quarter. We also ask questions on current issues to find out how they are affecting you, our member, so we can take the necessary actions to help. Some examples of areas where we have asked for member input include postal issues, strategies for cutting costs in the current economic environment, accounting standards, and current use of different ancillary services and digital technologies and their effect on your bottom line.

We email the results to all participants six weeks after the end of each quarter and post the results online two weeks later for all members to view. This data is also used to write Flash Reports and economic forecasts.

The survey is emailed to the main contact at each member company three weeks after the end of each quarter. To be added to this email list please contact Ed Gleeson at egleeson@printing.org or 412-259-1756.
