Growth of e-commerce and retailers' packaging needs
The rapid growth of e-commerce platforms in Mexico is substantially increasing the need for commercial printing services, particularly in the retail and packaging sectors. With online retailers aiming to deliver a high-quality customer experience, printed packaging items such as boxes, labels, inserts, and branded wrapping paper are becoming essential for establishing brand identity and customer retention. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which represent a significant percentage of Mexico's e-commerce market, rely heavily on commercial printers for affordable and customized packaging solutions. Subscription box services, promotional packaging, and seasonal branding campaigns are also driving volumes. The IMARC Group forecasts that the Mexican e-commerce market will reach $176.6 billion by 2033. This is prompting commercial printers to invest in versatile printing technologies, including digital and hybrid solutions, that enable fast print runs and quick turnaround times, critical for the high-speed e-commerce environment.
Technological advances in digital printing
Technological advancements, specifically in digital printing, are revolutionizing the commercial printing industry in Mexico. Traditional offset printing, while still widely used, is increasingly being complemented and, in some cases, displaced by digital printing technologies with faster production cycles, lower setup costs, and greater personalization. Technologies such as variable data printing (VDP) allow companies to personalize marketing materials like direct mail, brochures, and catalogs in large quantities, capitalizing on the growing demand for targeted advertising. Digital printing also enables printers to supply smaller print runs, perfect for clients seeking flexibility and reduced inventory costs. Furthermore, the deployment of automation, cloud-based printing solutions, and advanced printers are driving productivity and print quality. At EXPOGRAFICA 2024, Agfa de México presented its updated portfolio of inkjet printers to expand its printing solutions.
Expansion of advertising and promotional activities
The improvement in promotional and advertising activities is driving the market in Mexico, with companies across various sectors spending on print media to support their marketing efforts. Despite the shift to digital, print remains a reliable platform for delivering effective and tangible marketing messages through brochures, flyers, banners, and point-of-sale signage. Sectors such as retail, real estate, automotive, and travel frequently utilize printed content to engage local consumers and build brand awareness. The expansion of small businesses and local companies is also fueling demand, as these businesses tend to use print marketing for local campaigns. Furthermore, the resurgence of trade shows, exhibitions, and in-store events following the pandemic has also revived demand for large-format, event-oriented printed materials. Commercial printers are capitalizing on this trend by offering value-added services, such as graphic design, large-format printing, and print-on-demand, enabling businesses to launch immediate, effective, creative, and cost-efficient advertising campaigns. In 2024, DASCOM introduced its retransfer card printer at Expo Seguridad México 2024. The DC-8600 allows organizations to print ID cards, business cards, and access cards, thus providing user-friendly card printing solutions.
