By GlobalData- Shortage of new machinery has
increased demand for second user equipment. - UK market continues to reduce for
older traditional presses, however there is still limited demand
from developing economies. - Slight increase in demand from
printers looking to update older machines given competitive pricing
at present making presses more affordable. - Lack of funding options proving to be
a problem for many companies looking to invest.
Label printing
- Late model presses still attracting
interest from both UK based and International purchasers. - Demand reducing for older letterpress
machines, with very little interest from UK purchasers.
Screen printing
- Market continues to retract as wide
format and digital machines become more cost effective. - Equipment becoming unsaleable with
only very limited demand from developing economies. - High costs for decommissioning and
shipping limit overseas.
Digital printing/ wide
format
- Limited market for older equipment due
to technological advances. - Demand for wide format equipment
reduced dramatically over past 12 months due to slow down within
the retail sector.
Print finishing
- Demand for equipment starting to
recover over past six months due to a shortage of equipment on
second user market. - Seen recent demand from European
purchasers. - Shrinking market for older
equipment.
Direct
mail/envelope
- A large number of closures within the
sector over the past six months has resulted in a surplus of
equipment on the market with limited demand for the same. - Larger operators will now only invest
in modern high-speed machines and consequently demand for older
machines reducing. - Recent sales for export to countries
such as Turkey, Germany and Australia.
Packaging and
converting
- Decline in the demand for Flexographic
and gravure printing. - Demand for carton and converting
equipment remaining static. - Global market for equipment and marketing
periods of six months plus must be anticipated to source purchasers
at realistic levels.
