Industry Sales Growth Slowing

According to Printing Industries of America’s 208 “Print Market Update” survey panelists, printing industry sales have increased by 2.3 percent year-to-date in 2012. By comparison, the U.S. Census Bureau reports year-to-date 2012 shipments on a nominal unadjusted basis declined 2.2 percent. While still a decline, that is an improvement from the first quarter’s 3.9 percent decline.
