Abstract
The study provides a review of the year 2004 and a forecast of the large format
printer market in Russia for the years 2005 to 2009. A quantitative and
qualitative analysis is provided, examining both the graphic arts and CAD
market segments. Printing technologies that are incorporated into the data
include inkjet, thermal, LED, and electrostatic printing systems. Unit
shipments, value of shipments, and average selling price information is
presented. The analysis of the market in 2004 includes unit and value shares by
technology and paper format, when applicable.
"The Russian LFP market will continue to grow in the near future - products
will become accessible to more Russian users as prices come down, new
technologies will attract new customers, and the number of potential end users
will rise with new investment in state commercial structures. To boost their
sales in this market, vendors must educate customers about the capabilities,
and range, of LFPs available." - Dmitry Feshin, Program Manager, IDC Russia.
