The World of Print is Flat Too!

In 2001, these emerging markets comprised 21% of the total world print market. By 2006 they will represent over 27%. That is huge growth when you consider that the world market was $450 billion in 2001! The absolute global print growth between 2001 and 2006 is forecast to be U.S. $149.7 billion for all print markets. Emerging regions will account for $71.1 billion of this growth, almost half of the total. We are all quite aware that the U.S. market has been declining or flat since 2000, so these emerging markets represent solid growth potential for NPES member companies.
