Growth of Printing Industry in India

The Indian printing industry is valued at 16 billion euros as per the year 2011. The printing industry is highly fragmented. The newspapers and magazine publishing

section has the large printers mainly apart from a few in package, label and

commercial printing. About 77% of the printing houses are family owned.



From 2002 onwards the

government allowed foreign investment. Foreign investors can now invest up to 26% in

daily newspapers and 100% in scientific or other publications with government

approval.





Printing sector has evolved from a manufacturing industry into a service industry. The



segments of graphic design, print quality and capability have achieved global standard.



Newspapers, books, catalogues, packaging products and other publications such as



coffee table books have come up to the international standards as well.





Newest Technology is the online printing services , in which people don t have to travel to get their prints

instead they can get the prints at their doorstep. Smartprint is one such pioneer company in India which provides such services.







There is an ample opportunity for the printing sector in India because of the following factors :





Large English knowing young population



Increase in literacy rate



Increase in life span (older people read more)



Increase in number of smaller households (nuclear families) has resulted in smaller



packaging patterns. Development of taste for convenient living and rising health



consciousness have led to a revolution in the packaging industry and consequently to



the printing industry.
