However, the sector has exhibited considerable volatility over the last decade, with significant annual fluctuations.

The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years was -5.48%, reflecting an overall decline.

Though this suggests no anticipated expansion, the consistent investments could indicate a phase of consolidation in the industry.

Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in digital printing technologies, shifts towards sustainable practices, and evolving service demand driven by changes in media consumption. These factors could disrupt the current stability and either rejuvenate or further contract the sector's investments.
