Printing Services in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Printing Services in Canada

Printing service providers have struggled over the current period as demand from downstream printing and publishing sectors plummeted, especially in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Printing service providers have continued to face difficulties as printed newspaper and magazine circulation declined and many forms of printed materials have moved online. Industry-wide revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 5.9% over the past five years and is expected to total $590.0 million in 2023, when revenue will dip by an estimated 0.6%. While revenue has fallen considerably, profit has expanded over the past five years because of unprofitable businesses exiting.

This industry offers prepress and postpress services. Prepress services include image setting and typesetting for printers, film preparation and plates for printing.
