Print-on-Demand Market Size is projected to reach USD 39.03 billion
The global print-on-demand market has witnessed significant growth in recent years and is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming decade.
According to recent research, the market size was valued at USD 5.39 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 39.03 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031.
Print-on-demand refers to a business model where products, such as books, apparel, accessories, and home decor items, are manufactured only when an order is received. This approach eliminates the need for inventory management and reduces wastage significantly.
Several factors are driving the growth of the print-on-demand market.
Firstly, advancements in technology have made it easier for individuals and businesses to design and customize their products with ease.
Additionally, the rise of e-commerce platforms has provided a convenient way for entrepreneurs to set up their online stores without the need for physical retail space.
