Datta said, “Research has found that offset revenue will decline by 2020, but China and India defy this trend. But India is slowly and steadily conforming with this trend. According to a research report, 70% of people believe digital colour will play a big role in future and there will be a decline in run lengths.” 
 
According to the Infotrends research report, the print service provided who registered growth, attributed the highest share of revenue (26%) to value add service whereas the printers that showed a decline in revenue was those who were using conventional technologies. Datta said, “Digital technology can help add value plus cater to niche opportunity in print."
