—  Research by Smithers says that The US printing market could see an additional decline of 6.4% by 2030 as a result of tariffs, representing the closure of more than 1,000 companies. This is according to a new white paper from Smithers, the global authority on the printing industry. US tariff policies could reshape the global printing industry, with potential impacts reaching into the tens of billions of dollars. Depending on the scenario, US printing consumption in 2030 could range from $78.6 billion to $84.7 billion, a swing of over $6 billion driven by tariff-related uncertainty. Key Findings: commercial print and book printing face the steepest declines due to discretionary spending cuts and import reliance. Prices for US-manufactured paper and inks will be affected by imported raw materials, and there is not enough US capacity for printing papers, inks and plates in the short term. Export of used sheetfed offset hardware will be impacted as much of this is destined for India and China, where tariffs remain high. Printers and suppliers could be forced to explore reshoring and regional hubs to mitigate future tariff risks.
