Quick Printing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Paper jam: Do-it-yourself home printing will likely continue to make the industry obsolete

Rapid advances in computer technology have allowed consumers and small businesses to complete tasks previously performed by quick printing shops from the convenience of their homes and offices. The availability of this technology, combined with swift declines in the price of computer software and peripheral equipment, has hindered shops across the country. Consumers increasingly favor alternative mediums like online media and digital communications over printed materials, leeching away the need for quick prints. Overall, revenue is expected to decline at a CAGR of 3.0% over the five years, reaching $4.2 billion in 2023, including a 2.9% decline in 2023 alone. Profit is set to creep downward to 4.7% following rising price competition.
