Mexico Commercial Printing Market Trends:

Growth of E-Commerce and Retail Packaging Needs

The speedy growth of e-commerce platforms in Mexico is substantially increasing the need for commercial printing services, particularly within the retail and packaging sectors. With internet retailers aiming to deliver high-quality customer experience, printed packaging items like boxes, labels, inserts, and branded wrapping paper are emerging as fundamental elements in establishing brand identity and customer retention. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), which make up a significant percentage of Mexico's e-commerce market, are especially dependent on commercial printers for affordable, customized packaging solutions. Subscription box services, promotional packaging, and seasonal branding campaigns are also driving volumes. The IMARC Group predicts that the Mexico e-commerce market is expected to reach USD 176.6 billion by 2033. This is leading commercial printers to invest in versatile printing technologies, including digital and hybrid solutions, that enable quick runs and rapid turnaround times, critical to the high-speed e-commerce environment.

Technological Advancements in Digital Printing

Technological improvements, specifically in digital printing, is revolutionizing Mexico's commercial printing industry. Classic offset printing, though still in prevalent use, is being ever more supplemented and in a few instances, displaced by digital printing technologies with faster production cycles, lower setup expenses, and greater customization. Technologies like variable data printing (VDP) enable companies to customize marketing items like direct mail, brochures, and catalogs in large quantities, riding the wave of increased demand for targeted advertising. Digital printing also makes it possible for printers to supply smaller runs, which are perfect for customers who want flexibility and reduced costs of inventory. Additionally, the deployment of automation, cloud-based print solutions, and advanced printers is driving productivity and quality of print. In EXPOGRAFICA 2024, Agfa de Mexico presented its rebranded inkjet printer portfolio to expand its printing solutions.

Expansion of Advertising and Promotional Activities

Improved promotional and advertising activities are driving the market in Mexico, with businesses across various industries spending on printed media to aid in their marketing efforts. In spite of the transition to digital, print continues to be a reliable platform for passing on effective, tangible marketing messages in brochures, flyers, banners, and point-of-sale (POS) signage. Industries like retail, real estate, auto, and travel often use printed content to attract local consumers and build brand recognition. Expansion of small business and local business is also driving the demand, as these firms tend to use print marketing for local-level campaigns. Moreover, the revival of trade shows, exhibitions, and in-store events after the pandemic break has also brought back demand for large-size and event-oriented print items. Commercial printers are taking advantage of this by providing value-added services like graphic design, large-format printing, and print-on-demand, so businesses can implement immediate and efficient advertising campaigns that are creative and cost-effective. In 2024, DASCOM unveiled its retransfer card printer at Expo Seguridad Mexico 2024. THE DC-8600 enables organizations to print identity cards, business cards, and access cards, thereby providing user-friendly card printing solutions.
