The study provides an in-depth analysis of retail, online, and home printing methods, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on print habits. Non-printers were also asked about why they choose not to print and what could be done to make prints more attractive.

(January 2022) Rise Above Research expects that despite the surge in the Omicron COVID-19 strain that there will be another increase in photos taken worldwide in 2022. The Omicron variant has not shut everything down as COVID did in 2020, and we expect that many people will be traveling, taking vacations, and holding events this year. This will lead to an 8% increase in photos taken this year to around 1.5 trillion photos worldwide.
