The data of the “2021 China Top 100 Printing and Packaging Enterprises” is still under tight statistics. Before that, let’s take a look at the new changes in the development of the North American printing market. The representative head enterprise development provides more valuable references.　　 At the beginning of the year, the American "Printing Impressions" magazine announced the 2020 "Top 350 North American Printing Companies" ranking. The list is based on sales and has been released for 37 consecutive years. It has a strong influence in North America and is of great significance for us to understand the development and changes of North American head printing companies.　　From this list, we can see several major trends in the development of the printing industry in North America.　　1. The number of companies participating in the rankings has decreased. 　　 Only 350 companies participated in this ranking. Compared with the “Top 500” at the peak of the list and the “Top 400” in previous years, it continues to shrink.　　The publishing agency of the list pointed out that the reason for the shrinkage is mainly due to the intensive development of the printing industry in North America and the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. And the influence of this series of factors also makes the list that should have been released in 2020 delayed until 2021.　　 As the number of companies participating in the ranking has shrunk, there are also barriers to entry. In the 2020 "Top 350 North American Printing Companies", the 100th company has sales revenue of 45 million U.S. dollars, and the 350th company at the bottom of the list has sales revenue of 5.5 million U.S. dollars; In the list, these figures are 55.7 million U.S. dollars and 8 million U.S. dollars respectively.　　 It should be pointed out that although the list was released in 2021, the sales data provided by most of the companies on the list are still 2019 data, so in fact, it does not really reflect the impact of the epidemic on companies.　　Second, the size of the top companies continues to decline 　　We first focus on the top 10 companies. Of these 10 companies, except for the two companies that only provide valuations that cannot be compared, 8 companies have provided detailed sales data over the past two years.　　Data shows that only one of the eight companies has achieved an increase in sales, and the remaining seven companies have shown varying degrees of decline, and the average decline is as high as 9.4%.　　RR Donnelley Although he maintained the top position, sales revenue fell 3% year-on-year to US$5.5 billion.　　 Mondi North America, as the top 10 goalkeeper in the latest list, has a sales revenue of US$650 million, which is a significant decline from the US$963 million of Donnelley Financial Solutions, the 10th place in the previous list.　　In 2019, before the outbreak of the epidemic, the report cards submitted by the top 10 companies in North America still have many regrets, and the data in 2020 may be even more severe.　　3. The speed of mergers and acquisitions among leading companies is accelerating. 　　Take the top 10 most representative companies in the list as an example. The mergers and acquisitions of these companies in 2020 are showing a trend of accelerated development.　　 After filing for bankruptcy protection, the third-ranked LSC Communications was acquired by the private equity firm Atlas Holdings, and sales fell by 22%. The seventh-ranked Cenveo Enterprises sold a variety of assets to the ninth-ranked CJK Group, and its sales fell by 16%. The latter also continued to develop its book printing platform through mergers and acquisitions. In 2020, it acquired Quad's Book printing plant.　　In the list, Quad ranked No. 2 with a sales revenue of 3.923 billion U.S. dollars, down 2% year-on-year.　　 Speaking of books, this market has undergone dramatic changes under the influence of the new crown epidemic. Quad completely withdrew from the book market after selling its remaining two book printing plants; while another book printing giant, LSC Communications, also shut down large book printing facilities to reduce production capacity. The analysis of "Printing Impressions" pointed out that in the face of challenges, some printing companies on the list are adjusting their business, entering a more stable and profitable packaging and printing market, and through the production of anti-epidemic materials, such as masks and protective clothing. And anti-epidemic related signs and signs, etc., to better respond to market changes. 4. The demand for digital printing is increasing the differentiation and turbulence of the top 10 printing companies in North America. To a certain extent, it reflects the demand for digital printing by North American book publishers. They prefer to produce books on demand through inkjet printing. Instead of using traditional offset presses to achieve mass production.　　 At the same time, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has also accelerated commercial printing in North America, and the shift from traditional to digital inkjet and toner printing will also have an impact on the offset printing market. "Printing Impressions" stated that with the popularity of e-commerce in all aspects of the North American market, changing buyer habits require more on-demand, fast-turnover printing business models to combat uncertainty and the economic recession caused by the new crown pneumonia epidemic. . The digital printing production based on toner and inkjet also enables greater social distance between employees in the workshop, and reduces the number of printing press operators and other production personnel, and these changes are conducive to Control the spread of the epidemic.　　 Although China and the United States are different and their companies are at different stages of development, the top 100 printing and packaging companies in China can still get some enlightenment from the development trends shown in the "Top 350 Printing Companies in North America" rankings.
