Abstract
This study discusses the Levant market for electronic printers - monochrome and
color as well as impact and non-impact - used with all levels of computer
systems. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers
featuring widths of less than eight inches. It also does not cover wide format
(A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the
Levant printer market from 2005 through 2009. Unit shipments, value of
shipments, and average selling price (ASP) information is presented. Data for
2003-2004 is actual, whereas data for 2005-2009 is projected.
"Economic and political instability will make securing stable business in the
Levant countries a challenge for printer vendors. Vendors in the Levant market
should focus on channel support and encourage their partners to provide
added-value solutions. The laser segment offers tremendous growth potential,
particularly the entry-level and midrange segments." - Naser Sha'sha'a, Senior
