U.S. MFP Market Shares, 2021: Return to Office Sales Slowed by COVID-19 Variants, Supply Shortages

This IDC study provides a review of the 2021 U.S. multifunction peripheral vendor shares."As workers returned to the office in 2021, shipments of desktop inkjet and lower-speed laser A4 MFPs favored by homes and home offices predictably declined. Likewise, sales of the higher-speed A3 devices used in offices rebounded. However, supply chain issues muted market growth in the second half of the year, as supply has been unable to keep pace with demand." - Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
