重要的事實

2024 年drupa展會參觀人數為170,000。
共有來自 52 個國家的 1,643 家公司參展。

2024年將是drupa，一個由人工智慧和永續發展責任支持的 "軟體" 。人工智慧將成為一項關鍵技術，影響列印的許多方面，包括設計、硬體效率和維護。促銷產品將越來越多地融入人工智慧和數位印刷帶來的個人化設計元素。

本報告審視了全球印刷業，並探討了到 2034 年將塑造商業、出版和包裝印刷行業的不斷變化的技術格局。

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.
