Nearly 34% believe growth to be double digit, which is an increase of nearly 10% on 2014 where the result was 25%. This is due to the continued evolution of industrial inkjet capability and rapid change in manufacturing production. This is also believed to be in line with consumer change and the need for flexible, just in time manufacturing which is transforming a number of industries. The unique capabilities of industrial printing as both a functional and decorative process means it performs a critical role in the production of multiple products and processes empowering manufacturing to adapt to constantly changing consumer demand.

The results reveal a sector rich in innovation and one that is developing at a fast pace. However respondents also felt that there were some key challenges and initiatives required in order for industrial print to continue to develop including improved collaboration and improved knowledge of industrial inkjet. In addition, a core challenge for the industry is NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE in making the right investment decision for the next stage of industrial inkjet development and InPrint has a clear role to play in this regard as the show continues to inspire the sector to grow and develop.” About InPrint Italy 2016 InPrint Italy is the only exhibition dedicated exclusively to industrial print technology in Italy.
