State of the Industry Update, Third Quarter 2025

Details:

Year: November 2025
Pages: 27

Summary:

Based on a survey of 215 companies from across the printing industry, this report opens with a review of how sales, prices, and profitability trended through the first three quarters of 2025 and how erratic tariff policies affected business conditions. What concerns printers most heading into 2026, their business priorities for the year, and the capital investments they would most like to make come next. The report closes with the benefits and challenges of production inkjet, the outlook for the American economy, and why the gap between printing industry leaders and everyone else will widen further.

Companies surveyed include commercial printers, graphic and sign (wide-format) printers, and package and label printers with annual sales (all sources) ranging from less than $1 million to more than $300 million.
