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 third quarter, business and consumer confidence remained soft in the face of weak global economic factors, but hardcopy vendors were able to maintain steady sales numbers while navigating an uncertain economic environment. As the U.S. tariff situation evolved, vendors addressed it with a mix of price increases and cost reductions. The market is expected to remain challenging into at least mid-2026." - Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
