Commercial Printing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report via Printing Technology (Digital Printing, Lithography Printing), By Application (Packaging, Advertising), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2035
The global commercial printing market size was estimated at USD 504.45 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2.45% from 2025 to 2035. The increasing need of businesses and enterprises for advertising materials such as brochures and pamphlets drives the demand for commercial printing services. Advertising is one of the excellent marketing tools. Increasing technological proliferation, such as faster presses and new color & toner technology, allows better production capabilities and superior quality. In addition, the technical development of printing techniques proves to be cost-effective and efficient for bulk printing. Cost-effectiveness can prevent the restraining impacts of digital media on printing services to a certain extent.
The booming demand for packaging and labeling from the e-commerce industry contributes significantly to market growth. E-commerce vendors such as Amazon, eBay, and Target are adopting innovative packaging solutions such as additive manufacturing and AI-powered design tools to enhance their packaging. Market players from the logistics, warehousing, and retail sectors are investing in hybrid print technologies. Hybrid technology helps combine the benefits offered by analog and digital technologies. This is accomplished by combining the dependability and effectiveness of flexographic printing with the artistic potential of digital technology.
Despite the increasing adoption of digital media for the publication of books and advertising, commercial printing still holds relevance since the experience that printed materials and publications offer is unique. It cannot be duplicated in an online medium. Avid book readers and magazine buyers prefer the printed form over online reading, as physical books add to the experience. Printed books also offer benefits to users, such as better readability. The sale of print books in the United States increased by nearly USD 87 million in 2024. The growing popularity of print-on-demand (POD) among consumers also expands the market. POD is an order delivery method in which goods are printed as soon as an order is placed. POD allows users to get customized designs for a wide range of products. Increasing consumer’s preference for customization & personalization also contributes to the target market growth. Hemp
Printing Technology Insights
The digital printing segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the rapid adoption of inkjet and laser printing solutions across the paper and packaging printing sector due to the cost-efficient and flexible nature of the technology. Furthermore, the segment is anticipated to be driven by adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) based technologies. Digital printing also reduces costs for color prints and has a better return on investments; hence, it is adopted widely for printing applications.
The lithography printing segment held the largest market share of 56.35 % in 2024. The segment's dominant nature is owing to the growing demand for printing from packaging applications. Lithography technology offers various advantages, such as consistent and high image quality, leading to higher adoption. Lithographic printing is ideal for high-volume batches of static mailings, such as directories and product advertisements. Flexographic technology is also one of the most used technologies. However, the post-printing processes required for it limit its adoption
