In order to compete with Amazon, brands and retailers are turning to print-on-demand manufacturing. This process, also called cloud manufacturing, emerged over the past decade and is beginning to revolutionize the supply chain industry. Driven by the explosive growth of ecommerce and shifting consumer preferences, the global cloud manufacturing market is expected to reach about $112 billion by 2024, growing at an astounding 20 percent annually.
Print-on-demand manufacturing is a process where goods are produced only when they are needed and in the quantities required, unlike traditional manufacturing which requires large quantities of products to be made and then stored in facilities until they are ready to be shipped.
