In-plant facilities provide many benefits, including cost savings, volume, convenience, and control. These benefits and easier print technology are fueling the growth in this market.

As the in-plant segment grows in importance, the central issue will concern who is managing these sites and their impact on the overall market. An in-plant operation can be operated by the company or managed by an outside firm. also considered are operations that are outsourced to be facilities management sites.

The in-plant print market has historically been a target market for facilities management (FM) providers.  FM providers have primarily been targeting small copy/print sites rather than traditional in-plant print shops. Accounting for 40,151 sites and $3.2 billion in revenue in 2003, small copy/print sites are a major component of the overall in-plant market.
