Our take
E-commerce and creator-focused platforms like Patreon and Shopify are helping to fire up demand for custom products like t-shirts, mugs, and stickers, expanding the market for on-demand printing and shipping. The global market for customer t-shirt printing alone was valued at $3.64 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach over $7.5 billion by 2028. In a nutshell, on-demand printing is set to have a good decade.
Printify is one of the key players in this market. Founded in 2015, its product is a transparent print-on-demand and drop-shipping platform designed to help online merchants make more money in a simple and easy way. Connecting entrepreneurs with more than 90 print providers across the globe, its strategy is focused on simplicity of use for its clients.
Printify has seen some impressive growth in recent years - in 2020 it was ranked by the Financial Times as the 15th fastest-growing company in the USA - and this attracted big investor interest. Following major funding, it is focusing on global expansion and growth of its team in order to help it compete with big players like Spocket and Amplifier.
