RemaxWorld Summit 2026: Disrupt & Deliver —Surviving and Thriving in the Emerging Imaging Ecosystem

In recent years, geopolitical tensions and tariffs have created major uncertainty and disruption. At the same time, AI and robotics are changing how businesses operate. The imaging supplies industry is no exception.

After more than 40 years of growth, the industry now faces a major shift. Long-standing ideas about supply chains, channels, and competition are being challenged. The industry has reached a critical turning point.

Key Industry Themes

• Supply Chain Rebuilding
  Geopolitical tensions have disrupted global supply chains. Efficiency and stability are no longer guaranteed. To stay resilient, companies must rethink how they manage cost, risk, speed, and customer demand. As a result, supply chains are being rebuilt in different ways. These include regionalization, friend-shoring, near-shoring, China+1 strategies, dual supply chains, and local manufacturing. As this shift continues, an important question remains. How will these changes affect suppliers, distributors, and customers?
• Channel Transformation
  Print volumes are falling due to digitalization. This is putting pressure on channel profits. For many years, revenue has depended heavily on hardware sales. If hardware no longer drives growth, where will future income come from? Industry experts say dealers must move towards service-based solutions. This shift is necessary. However, there is a gap between traditional models and service models. How can businesses manage this transition?
• AI Impact and Robotics Application
  AI and robotics are changing the business world at speed. Their impact is wider than many expected. With AI, printing devices are becoming smarter. They now support automated processes, intelligent workflows, fault detection, and predictive maintenance. Robotics is also reshaping operations. It is used in assembly, inspection, warehousing, and supply chain management. These changes are affecting sales, marketing, and service models. They are also reshaping how companies compete.
