Follow us on LinkedIn ? DTP is leading to a spurt of growth in content creation workers while causing a sea-change in the commercial printing industry. Over the last two decades, publishing firms added over 255,000 workers, while employees and freelancers in graphic designers firms increased to 78,000 and 80,000 respectively. With rapid developments in technology in the fields of telecommunication and Internet, an important trend characterizing the industry is the increasing number of publishers exhibiting preference to work independently and therefore opting for freelance work. Further, the concept of establishing DTP as a home-based business is also gaining wide popularity. Niche specialization, where publishers by capitalizing on their previous work experience, provide tailor-made services to specific market segments is another trend being witnessed in the market.
Desktop publishers are resorting to specialization as a means of survival and growth in the present global and competitive market. However, the risks for specialization include downturns or slowdown in the specific industry. Consequently, specialization in niche markets while still being in contact with other areas of business is evolving as an ideal strategy for publishers. With increasing work being done in-house, companies are resulting in more jobs to create corporate newsletters and reports. New jobs are expected for desktop publishers in the publishing firms as well as in commercial printing.
Currently, desktop publishing industry faces slackness in demand for specialized professionals, due to the widespread accessibility of software-packages, easily understandable even for a nonprofessional. Furthermore, the requirement of professionals in various fields to possess basic desktop publishing skills as part of their work and the practice of moving published material to Internet with the purpose of saving printing cost is resulting in lesser job opportunities in the industry. However, the prospects for publishers who are trained and experienced is expected to remain strong as a majority of organizations still require professional high-end services.
