Abstract
This IDC study offers a unique view of the U.S. MFP and printer forecast by
adding user segmentation to the standard forecasts. This additional value
allows readers to gain insight into the specific MFP and printer opportunities
to be gained in the home, small office, small/medium-sized/large business, and
government/education markets.
"All user segments show pockets of opportunity within the U.S. hardcopy market.
All business segments are expected to find opportunity in the large-growth
product segments of color laser and high-growth segments of monochrome laser
MFPs and printers. Home offices will remain predominately an inkjet
opportunity." - Sue Lyon, research director, Hardcopy Peripherals and Document
Solutions.
