Who Leads, And By How Much
This chart compares 3 series side by side, not one trend over time. Read them against each other — the biggest number in the room is not automatically the most important line to follow.
Size and growth rate are two different questions here — a series can be small in absolute terms and still be growing the fastest of the group. Check both before drawing a conclusion.
For planning purposes, the end-year figure and the growth rate are the two numbers that matter. Together they show how large the U.S. Photo Printing market is projected to become and how quickly it gets there.
The numbers here come from a market sizing model: historical revenue estimates up to the 2018 base year, then forecasts through 2027 using growth-rate assumptions for each segment. The underlying report explains the methodology in detail.
