Market Growth Factors
Growing demand for premium business printing solutions along with the boom of remote work and home offices due to the COVID-19 pandemic will increase the US printer market growth. Work from home (WFH) employees require MFPs that can print, scan, copy and fax to fulfill their high demand requirements. This is leading to a demand for inexpensive, simple to use and small footprint printers, met by dedicated home office printers, and is expected to continue for flexible permanent remote workers.
The key growth driver for cloud printing is technology changes toward wireless and cloud printing, further using printers that connect directly to smart phones, tablets and the cloud to enable efficient printing and shared capabilities of distributed offices and remote workforces. The use of cloud printing technologies is anticipated to increase document security. US government spending plans for federal civilian cloud computing are estimated to be $8.3 billion in FY 2025, promoting growth further.
3D-printed objects are already being used in manufacturing and prototyping. Two-thirds of U.S. manufacturers were using 3D printing, and 56% said they expected peers to use 3D printing in 3-5 years. In aerospace, medical, and consumer products, 3D printing is used to print complex parts, medical devices and tools, and prototypes, rapidly producing parts of various shapes, and customizing products and components, saving costs and time, and increasing productivity and market growth.
Market Segmentation
Analysis by Printer Type:
● Multi-Functional: Combines printing, scanning, copying, and sometimes faxing in one device, offering convenience and efficiency in office environments.
● Standalone: Dedicated printers designed solely for printing, ideal for smaller or specialized printing needs with simplicity and reliability.
Analysis by Technology Type:
● Dot Matrix Printer: Utilizes ink ribbon and print head to create characters; durable and cheap, suitable for multi-part forms, receipts, and invoices but slower and lower quality.
● Inkjet Printer: Uses liquid ink sprayed via nozzles for high-quality color prints; affordable and versatile but ink cartridges can be costly long-term.
● LED Printer: Employs LED arrays creating images on the drum; fast, energy-efficient, quiet, and reliable for office and commercial use.
● Thermal Printer: Uses heat to transfer ink directly or via ribbons; fast and simple for receipts, labels, and barcodes but prints may fade over time.
● Laser Printer: Utilizes laser beams and toner for precise, high-volume, black-and-white prints; faster but more expensive than inkjet.
Analysis by Printer Interface:
● Wired: Connects via cables, offering stable and secure connections preferred in high-volume or security-sensitive environments.
