Abstract
This study discusses the market for hardcopy peripherals – both
single function and multifunction. It does not cover point-of-sale printers
or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches.
Neither does it cover wide-format (A0) products, sometimes known as
plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Bulgarian peripherals market
from 2009 through 2013. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and
ASP information is presented. Data for 2007–2008 is actual, whereas
data for 2009–2013 is projected.
"The long-term consequence of the world
financial crisis on the Bulgarian HCP market will be the
introduction of value-added services, something vendors have only experimented with
to now. Solutions-oriented sales will become more visible as hardware
prices continue to fall, demand slows, and vendors seek alternative
sources of revenue." – Analyst Evelin Stoev, IDC Bulgaria.
