The Future of Printing in MENA to 2022

This report examines the opportunities for suppliers of print equipment, consumables and print service providers in the dynamic Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Its exclusive data shows how a market valued at over $35.1 billion in 2017 will see annual cross-segment growth of 9.0%, to reach $54.0 billion in 2022.

Consumption of printed materials will rise from 15.8 million tonnes in 2017 to reach 22.6 million tonnes in 2022.

Smithers’ analysis tracks how this lucrative and expanding market differs from more mature regions, where print revenues are static or even declining. This includes insight into the key growth segments and national markets, the reasons behind their expansion, and how these can be exploited by both domestic and international companies.
