Steady as she goes for output and orders - confidence remains positive despite pricing concerns

Q3 proved to be a positive environment for growth in output and orders – both showed a slight improvement on their Q2 status. Almost half (49%) of printers increased output in the third quarter of 2014 according to the latest BPIF Printing Outlook survey. A further 29% held output levels steady whilst 23% experienced a fall in output. The overall improvement (the balance between ups and downs) was 26; slightly above the forecasted 22. The Q3 results have extended the run of consecutive positive quarterly reports to a year and a half.
