In addition to printing and publishing, it has also gradually expanded to packaging, medicine and other fields, and market demand has gradually increased.

Books, as an important tool for transmitting knowledge, have an important impact on human values. However, as my country’s entertainment methods gradually increase, and various electronic products such as computers, tablets, and game consoles gradually emerge, the demand for books gradually declines. Coupled with the gradual popularization of the Internet in our country, e-books are favored by consumers due to their advantages such as easy dissemination and low price. The e-book market is developing rapidly, and the paper book retail market has been severely impacted.
