market analysis
In recent years, the Philippine economy has maintained a good development. Import and export trade increased by 7.1 %. The Philippine printing industry has about 5,000 printing companies, most of which are located in Metro Manila. The printing industry has invested more than $1 million. In terms of printing equipment, the Philippines is 100 % dependent on imported equipment, and Chinese products are currently favored by Philippine printing. For the past four years, the Philippine printing industry has accounted for 8 % of the country's economy. Two years ago, printing sales grew by at least 30 per cent, which is a strong testimony to the growing Philippine printing market.
The Philippine printing industry is expected to grow by a further 15 per cent in the coming years. The Philippines will be a potential market for Chinese manufacturers of printing equipment. Because compared to European printing equipment, Chinese printing equipment has great advantages in terms of performance and price, and more and more Philippine printing companies are gradually understanding and familiarizing themselves with Chinese printing equipment. Good value for money for Chinese printing equipment is certainly more attractive to the small and medium-sized printing companies that make up the majority of the Philippine printing industry.
