Chinese Printing Device Export Thrives in Q3

The Guangdong Printer Consumable Association has published the Q3 2024 export data for Chinese printing devices, covering categories such as dot matrix, inkjet, laser, thermal, and label printers.

In Q3 alone, China exported a total of 6.7 million printing devices. Thermal printers led these exports, representing a significant 60.2% of the total, with over 4 million units shipped internationally. Devices in the “other” category, including label printers and copiers, held second place in export volume, followed by laser printers.

Export Volume by Category in Q3 2024

Over the first three quarters of 2024, Chinese exports reached 20.16 million units, nearly matching the entire export volume of 2023. Since 2019, Chinese printing device exports have generally shown an upward trend, with a marked rise in 2023 following the end of the pandemic, though 2020 saw a temporary decline.

Annual Export Volume (in millions)

The United States remained the largest importer, accounting for nearly a quarter of all Chinese exports in this sector. Specifically, U.S. imports included 1.45 million thermal printers and 323,000 units from other categories. For other printing categories, Hong Kong led in laser printer imports, while Malaysia ranked highest for inkjet printer imports in Q3.
