Abstract
This IDC study quantifies the worldwide hardcopy peripherals market opportunity
and analyzes its issues and trends. It includes technology and product
forecasts and combines them to examine the total market. The forecasts contain
data for the United States, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific, and the rest of the

average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data from 2003 to 2006 is
actual, whereas data for 2007-2011 is projected.
"The color space represents a hot spot for activity, with high growth rates

Additionally, opportunities in the overall peripherals market exist in
developing countries where economic conditions have improved." - Akia Ramsay,
