Consolidation--The Ties That Bind?

By the Numbers
DeWese is currently studying the top 25 geographical markets for general commercial printing. He found that consolidator printing companies now own between 20 percent and 40 percent of the share in many markets, most notably Boston and the Baltimore/Washington, DC, corridor. In markets such as New York and Chicago, the consolidator foothold is weaker—less than a 5 percent share.
