(May 2025) The 2025 US Photo Printing Study provides the results of an extensive online survey of 1,289 US consumers that focuses on printing habits and behaviors for traditional photo prints. The study provides an in-depth analysis of retail, online, and home printing methods, as well as use and attitudes toward AI. Non-printers were also asked about why they choose not to print and what could be done to make prints more attractive.
According to a new study from Rise Above Research, nearly half of all respondents are interested in printing more information on the back of their photos. This shows that the US photo print market still has opportunities for growth and sustainability through new features that add value to printed photos.
COVID-19 greatly accelerated some of the trends that have been happening in the photo output market over the last several years. Most notably, the shift from retail to online ordering. [David Haueter]
