Dublin, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Printing Industry in South Africa 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report on South Africa's printing industry provides an in-depth analysis of the sector, covering key aspects such as digitisation, newspaper and magazine circulation, manufacturing output, revenue, and capacity utilisation.
It highlights the influence of factors like input costs, technology, innovation, and new opportunities. The report profiles 67 companies, including state-owned Government Printing Works and major players like Media24, Novus, CTP, Bidvest, Mpact, and Nampak, along with label and packaging printers and printing franchises.
The industry has been significantly disrupted by the rise of digital media, leading to a sharp decline in demand for printed newspapers and magazines. Despite the presence of around 1,600 printing companies in South Africa, the market is dominated by large, listed companies with long-term contracts for high-volume orders. However, there are growth opportunities in packaging, retail, advertising, and security printing for African governments, which are helping to diversify revenue streams. Digital printing, particularly for short-run and variable orders, has also fostered the growth of small print shops.
Market trends indicate increased adoption of digital printing to reduce costs and attract customers, alongside industry innovation, consolidation, and diversification, especially in environmentally-friendly printing practices. However, the industry continues to decline, exacerbated by the shift to digital media and the impact of the pandemic.
Companies that can invest in digital printing technology and expand into areas like packaging, retail, and educational book printing may find growth opportunities. Expansion into African markets is expected to be a critical strategy for diversification.
