“The Interior décor marketplace offers a sector of unlimited opportunity for the industrial print industry. As a sector - its growth has continued throughout the pandemic as consumers re-focussed attention and expenditure on their interior environments during lockdown. As technologies have advanced so has the demographic of this expansive market. What was once a sector of mass-production led by designer brands and large retailers, the interior industry is now democratised. And that’s largely due to the applications and availability of digital printing technology”.

“This was a unique opportunity to bring together a panel of experts - all of whom hold many years of experience in the printing industry. Their insights signpost new customer behaviours and a new heightened focus throughout the Interior Industry and the wider textile/print industry on environmental, efficient and responsible production -manufacturing technologies and materials”. - Debbie McKeegan - FESPA Textile Ambassador
