U.S. Home Office 2011-2015 Forecast: Recovery Drives Interest in IT as Home Office Households Adjust to New Economic Realities

This IDC study forecasts the ownership of desktop and notebook PCs, printers, MFPs, LANs, wireless LANs, and mobile phones in a variety of home office household segments in the United States annually through 2015, with 2010 as a base year. The estimates for penetration for each of these technologies are presented for the end of each year in the forecast period.

"Home office households continue to spend more on advanced technology than households in general," said Justin Jaffe, senior research analyst for Small and Medium-Sized Business and Home Office Research at IDC. "With economic conditions continuing to improve, these households will continue to lead the way for technology adoption across a variety of categories from notebook computers and wireless networks to mobile phones."
