重要的事实

2024 年drupa展会参观人数为170,000。
共有来自 52 个国家的 1,643 家公司参展。

2024年将是drupa，一个由人工智慧和永续发展责任支持的 "软体" 。人工智慧将成为一项关键技术，影响列印的许多方面，包括设计、硬体效率和维护。促销产品将越来越多地融入人工智慧和数位印刷带来的个人化设计元素。

本报告审视了全球印刷业，并探讨了到 2034 年将塑造商业、出版和包装印刷行业的不断变化的技术格局。

2024 was the 'software' drupa, underpinned by AI and the responsibility of sustainability. AI will become a key technology, influencing many aspects of print including design, hardware efficiency and maintenance. Promotional items will increasingly incorporate personalised design elements, enabled by AI and digital print.

This report examines the changing technology landscape that will shape commercial, publishing and packaging print sectors in the period to 2034. Adding value to printed products was a key trend at drupa 2024, and many packaging solutions were seen, notably cartons and corrugated, together with workflow and MIS developments. Futuristic 3D printing and printed electronics were showcased, along with innovations in print production.
