The growth of packaging and commercial printing is increasingly shaping demand in the Global B1 sheetfed offset press market, as broader industry trends show that print applications tied to packaging and business communications remain resilient even amid digital shifts. Packaging print — including labels, folding cartons, and branded graphics — continues to expand globally, driven by factors such as e-commerce demand and consumer preference for visually engaging product experiences. Annual industry forecasts underscore robust growth in the overall packaging printing market, which is projected to increase substantially over the coming decade due to sustained demand for printed packaging across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods sectors.
Overall, the growth trajectories of packaging and commercial printing are pivotal drivers of the Global B1 sheetfed offset press market. Packaging’s robust expansion — propelled by product branding needs, regulatory drivers, and e-commerce — increasingly absorbs printing capacity and underpins demand for sheetfed offset equipment capable of high-quality, multi-color output. Meanwhile, commercial printing, though facing digital competition, remains a substantial market segment where offset technology delivers efficiency and visual quality advantages. Together, these forces suggest that investments in sheetfed offset press capacity are likely to continue, as printers balance legacy demand with evolving requirements for premium packaging and business print applications
