In-plants During the Recession
By embracing digital printing and shorter runs, in-plants have weathered the recession slightly better than their commercial counterparts, according to the latest data from InfoTrends.
Revisiting Survey Results
As the economy continued to erode and the printing industry experienced double digit declines during 2009, InfoTrends conducted another shorter survey in the first quarter of 2010 to learn about the impact of these events on the printing industry, including the in-plant market. This 2010 survey produced different results than the 2008 study, where the overall mean/average in in-plant revenue actually declined by -3 percent, compared to their expectations that it would remain relatively flat. In relative terms, a decline of -3 percent doesn’t sound too bad, considering that the commercial litho segment declined by around -15 percent according to Info-Trends’ estimates.
