The Printing Industry in Iraq

  • As the economy in Iraq has grown, there is an increased need to buy printers, consumables such as inks and makeups and cleaning solutions.
  • Printers want to invest in new print applications, but these proposals have yet to be implemented. Many people are waiting for the future to become clearer. Protection printing and industrial printing are two growth prospects being considered.
  • The use of digital printing and technology would become the standard. Large print volumes will be phased out, and the market will change to meet the new demands of brands.
  • Digital printing can play a far larger role in the future than it does in the past. Customers will be able to reimagine their print experience in more ways. Canon Middle East is assisting our clients by enhancing their skills so that they can be more agile in this new market age.
  • As a result, more people in Iraq are looking for printers for sale whether from domestic sources or via imports.

The Packaging Industry in Iraq

  • The MEA paper packaging market is being driven by rising income levels, the emergence of a relatively young population, and economic activity. The demand for paper packaging goods has increased as a result of changing customer lifestyles and the government's emphasis on environmentally sustainable packaging solutions.
  • Over the next four to five years, the paper packaging market is expected to expand at a moderate pace. With the emphasis now turning to eco-friendly and sustainable goods, paper packaging is expected to gain momentum, with several countries advocating for paper packaging over plastic packaging, which poses a major environmental danger.
  • Higher recycling demand would encourage the use of paper as a packaging material, as consumers and companies seek cost-effective alternatives that also protect the environment while adhering to government regulations. The market's main trends are rising recycling rates and improving logistical quality.
  • This boosting economy in Iraq will continueto drive demand for industrial inkjet printer, printing equipment, printing parts, printing consumables such as inks, make ups and cleaning solutions.
