The competitiveness of the European Graphic Industry

 

On 20 August 2007, the European Commission published the final report “Competitiveness of the European Graphic Industry - Prospects for the EU printing sector to respond to its structural and technological challenges”, produced by the research institute Ernst & Young.   Overcapacity, increased price pressure and a lack of common vision for the future are problems identified in the report. The opportunities for the industry lie in differentiating their offer and creating stronger relationships between printers and other actors in the sector, in order to share best practices and develop new services.
