Print industry optimism prevailed in Q4 as forecast is surpassed
The Q4 seasonal upturn for the UK printing industry was better than expected - trade is expected to, at least, hold steady for the majority in Q1. The latest Printing Outlook survey reveals that over two-fifths of printers (43%) increased output levels in the fourth quarter of 2016. A further 43% held output steady whilst 14% experienced a decline in output.
In Printing Outlook this quarter:
- New BPIF Brexit Barometers - to gauge and monitor confidence during Brexit negotiations and forecast conditions after Brexit.
- UK Printing and Packaging trends and forecasts - pay reviews, investments, costs, capacity, productivity, margins, access to finance, late payment & payment terms, paper consumption, ink volume & values, insolvency statistics and more.
- Data, forecasts and commentary on the UK economy and the advertising sector.
Thanks to all survey respondents for their participation; sponsorship from Konica Minolta means all respondents will receive a printed copy of Printing Outlook. Please respond to the next survey in April to ensure that you receive your copy in the future.
