Abstract
This IDC study quantifies the U.S. MFP page volume market in detail, analyzing
issues, trends, and changes in device usage. It contains IDC' s review and
forecast of the U.S. MFP page volume market for 2003-2012. Installed base of
MFPs, average monthly volume, average annual monthly volume, and total page
volume are presented in this document. Data for 2003-2007 is actual, whereas
data for 2008-2012 is projected. Key findings include:
- IDC anticipates a small 3.1% unit CAGR for the total U.S. MFP page volume market for 2007-2012. However, there are pockets of opportunity within this market that show substantially higher growth potential.
- The product segments exhibiting the strongest page growth opportunity for vendors include <$300 inkjet, 21ppm+, and 91ppm+ monochrome laser and all color laser MFP segments.
"The double-digit MFP shipment growth exhibited in the past year has created a
healthy increase in installed base, which, coupled with increasing AMPVs, has
led to a positive net increase in total MFP page volume. This growth comes at
the cost of page volume shifts from other device segments. IDC' s U.S. page
volume MFP forecast identifies those pockets of growth providing vendors a
target for R&D, marketing, and sales investment to maximize return in an
increasingly competitive and slowing economy." - Jake Wang, program manager,
