U.S. and Worldwide Production Color and Monochrome Toner Forecast, 2022-2026

This IDC study quantifies the U.S. and worldwide production toner-based printer market. Hardware shipments, value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) are presented in this study. Data for 2016-2021 is actual, whereas data for 2022-2026 is projected."We expect a slow recovery in the market, but there are serious headwinds," warns Tim Greene, research director, Hardcopy Solutions, IDC. "The predictability of the market may never have been lower than it is right now. Supply chain and labor challenges, inflation and economic outlook, and inkjet displacement, any or all of these issues could disrupt what should be a recovery. Together, they add up to a market that still, by 2026, won't be shipping as many units as we were pre-COVID".
