Commercial Printing Industry Financial Summary

The US commercial printing industry includes about 35,000 companies with over $100 billion annual revenue. Large companies include RR Donnelley and Canadian printer Quebecor World. The majority of commercial printers are small or midsized local businesses that operate one production plant, employ fewer than 20, and have annual revenue under $5 million. Despite continuing consolidation, the industry is highly fragmented: the largest 50 companies account for about 30 percent of the market.

Using the 2002 Census Bureau Economic Census, Hoover's has generated an industry financial summary for the Commercial Printing industry.
