Research and Markets Overview of the Western European Printing and Publishing Industry



May 9, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c17005) has announced the addition of European Printing and Publishing Establishment Sizing Report to their offering.

The size and segmentation of the printing and publishing markets in Europe is of great interest to anyone exploring the growth potential for print-on-demand equipment and services. Because there are few, if any, reports exploring the complete range of printing establishments in Europe, this new report entitled Sizing Report for Printing and Publishing Establishments in Europe has been released.

This report provides an overview of the Western European printing and related industry establishments, detailing the number of establishments as well as the value of shipments to them. It also provides data on a per-country level and establishments by size classes for segments that are critical to the print on demand market.


The report segments the market into specialty, primary, and secondary industries. The primary market provides the most promising opportunities for print on demand products and services. The secondary and specialty markets use digital printing to support their primary services or represent applications, which have the potential to migrate to digital output in the future.
