Market Challenges And Opportunities
Global Printed Signage Market: Restraints
- Lack of knowledge among consumers: The market growth is expected to be hindered by the increasing competition from viable alternatives, such as digital signage, as well as by the increasing adoption of digital signage and the digitization of economies. Furthermore, fluctuations in raw material prices are expected to impede the growth of the market. Furthermore, the prevailing trends in online advertising and broadcasting, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, will impede the market growth.
- Counterbalance: At the time of choosing signage, eco-friendly materials can be used. Eco-friendly signage are made using sustainable and renewable materials, which is a viable alternative as opposed to non-environment-friendly materials like digital signage. For example in place of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or other plastics which are not biodegradable, recyclable materials like wood or polypropylene can be used instead. Some of the most commonly used species are marine plywood, oak, and birch plywood.
