Abstract
This IDC study provides the worldwide market forecast for flatbed
scanners for 2009–2013. To enhance the reader' s understanding of the
impact of 2009 shipments, the data points are compared with
forecast shipments that were anticipated by IDC in 2008. The
following questions are answered:
- How did 2008 scanner shipments change compared
with the same period in the 2007 forecast?
- How quickly will
flatbed scanner shipments decline in the United States during the
forecast period?
"All indications are that consumer flatbed scanners will survive
the first decade in the new millennium; beyond that is
unpredictable." — Ron Glaz, program director, Digital Imaging Solutions and
Services
