In the developed economies printing and its related industries are likely to rank in the first 10 industry sectors by size. When all branches of printing are combined with those of publishing and the related industries of packaging, paper and board making, ink making and machinery manufacturing, they represent a sector equal to such industries as aerospace and automobile manufacturing.
