2012 Hot Markets : Printing in a Mobile World
Don’t miss out on this transformational event! The three technology sectors will account for 12.3 percent of total print demand and will be centered on the Coasts.
Level at No. 7 is REAL ESTATE ($1.9T, -6 percent; with $10.1B to print, +1 percent). New and resale residential housing will continue to sink as the shadow inventory of nearly two million empty homes, not yet for sale, are foreclosed and repossessed during 2012. Some 350,000 new homes are predicted to be sold this year, but the prices will drop by more than that 4 percent unit increase.
