Description

This IDC Market Perspective contains excerpts from public financial disclosures by leading hardcopy vendors and details the impact of inflation, economic uncertainty, and other issues facing hardcopy vendors on performance and forecasts."In the first quarter, the hardcopy market softened a bit in the wake of U.S. tariff uncertainty and weak economic factors, which are expected to continue until at least late 2025. At the same time, Japanese vendors' outlooks for the upcoming fiscal year will benefit from a weakening U.S. dollar. To succeed during this period of economic uncertainty and turmoil, vendors will need to carefully monitor business and consumer confidence, which may be impacted by U.S. tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and a softening global economic outlook." - Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
