🌍 Global Trends & Sectoral Transformation
Global trends affecting the printing and packaging industry:
– The printing industry is truly global—there is no country without a printing industry.
– Globalization has deeply connected people, technologies, networks, and ideas.
– Global economic and population growth is triggering change across all sectors.
– Increasing digitalization and personalization
– Sustainable production solutions
– The globalizing workforce and the need for multilingual communication
English is no longer a foreign language—it is the global language of business communication. Accessing information has become much easier. Speaking one language is not enough; speaking multiple languages creates an advantage in globalization, and this is an issue that young people in particular should pay attention to.
– Demand for well-educated young engineers with international expertise continues to grow.
– New regulations affecting the printing and paper-cardboard industry:
European Union regulations such as EUDR, PPWR, PFAS, REACH, and CBAM require transformation in many areas of the industry, from the supply chain to product formulation. These regulations are shaping the future of the printing industry in terms of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
