Abstract
This IDC study quantifies the U.S. color laser MFP market
opportunity and analyzes its issues and trends. It includes A3
and A4 configurations and examines the total market. The forecast
contains data for the U.S. markets for 2003–2013. Unit shipment,
value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) information is
presented. Data for 2003–2008 is actual, whereas data for 2009–2013
is projected.
"A4 MFPs represent a hot spot for MFP activity,
with high growth rates throughout the forecast period. However, the
major difference in price points between A3 and A4 formats
presents a significant challenge to copier MFP vendors as these
low-priced A4 MFPs enter the market and show strong shipment
growth." — Alyson Frasco, director for IDC' s Hardcopy Peripherals Trackers
