U.S. Single-Function Printer Forecast, 2022-2026

This IDC study quantifies the U.S. single-function printer market in detail, analyzing issues, trends, and product advances. It contains IDC's review and forecast of the U.S. printer market for 2016-2026. Unit shipments, value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data for 2016-2020 is actual, whereas data for 2021-2026 is projected."After the supply chain crisis eases, IDC anticipates a surge of shipments to serve pent-up demand in late 2022 and early 2023. After that, the single-function printer market is expected to steadily decline during the forecast period. However, pockets of long-term opportunity will continue to exist, especially in the higher-speed color laser market segment where we expect growth to resume in the post-pandemic period." - Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, IDC's Imaging, Printing and Document Solutions
