His presentation, Package Printing: 2025 & Beyond , will offer a deep dive into “The Future of Flexo,” as well as the influence of other print processes on it. Gaining Insight Smyth will put forward insights and elaborate on find- ings of Smithers’ most recent analytical studies and sta- tistically sound demographic profiles that look to define the growing, yet shifting shapes of package printing and converting enterprises, as well as the demands of the cus- tomers they serve. For example, he will report that the global value of flex- ographic printing in 2024 was $230.5 billion. It is forecast to increase at a 3.0 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2029, when it will approach and may even exceed $270 billion. Production itself is likely to accelerate by nearly 17 percent over the five-year period. Sean Smyth
