Complete FESPA’s Specialty Print Market Survey At The Sign Africa And FESPA Africa Expo

Visitors and exhibitors at the Sign Africa and FESPA Africa Expo can stay ahead of market trends by completing FESPA’s Global Specialty Print Market Survey, a research initiative designed to gather and share essential market intelligence for the print community. The event takes place from 9-11 September (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) at the Gallagher Convention Centre, 9am-5pm.

Printers in graphics or textiles, or sign makers, know that process automation software, AI tools, and sustainability demands are creating the need to adapt to stay viable in competitive markets. FESPA’s Print Census now runs on a six-month cycle to deliver more relevant insights, more often. It takes just 10 minutes to complete.

Contributors gain exclusive access to up-to-date benchmarking data that will help them: see how their business compares to competitors, guide their next investment decisions and stay ahead of market trends. They’ll also receive a copy of the Free Executive Summary, and a chance to win one of five Amazon gift cards.

This edition focuses on three key areas driving change across the print industry:

Sustainability: with 72% of print buyers seeking eco-friendly solutions, sustainability is no longer optional. Encouragingly, most print service providers (PSPs) report meeting demands without raising prices. This reflects a growing opportunity to align environmental responsibility with profitability.

Artificial Intelligence: AI is streamlining operations by automating prepress, job scheduling, and colour management. It’s also unlocking scalable personalisation through intelligent customer data analysis, enhancing both efficiency and engagement.

Process automation: to meet growing demand for faster turnarounds and smaller job runs, automation is eliminating production bottlenecks, increasing throughput, and reducing labour costs.

The completion of the FESPA Print Census can be done online or at the Sign Africa and FESPA Africa Expo. The event is taking place from 9-11 September 2025 (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) at Gallagher Convention Centre and is sponsored by Stixo and Roland. Entrance is free, please register online.

FESPA members will receive the complete Print Census report as part of their membership benefits.
