Abstract
This study discusses the market for hardcopy peripherals - single function and
multi-functional. 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 Kenya peripherals market from 2007 through 2011. Unit shipments,
value of shipments, and average street price (ASP) information is presented.
Data for 2005-2006 is actual, whereas data for 2007-2011 is projected.
"The Kenyan government' s determination to boost the country' s IT sector is an
extremely positive sign for HCP vendors. Initiatives introduced in 2006, like
the abolition of taxes on IT products, and others still to come, like the new
ICT bill, should encourage IT spending, including spending on peripherals." -
