This IDC study quantifies the worldwide MFP market opportunity and analyzes its issues and trends. It includes inkjet, monochrome laser, and color laser technology forecasts and combines them to examine the total market. The forecasts contain data for the United States, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific and Japan, and the rest of the world (ROW) markets from 2005 to 2012. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data for 2005-2007 is actual; data for 2008-2012 is projected.

"In lieu of the current turbulent times in the worldwide economy, IDC believes that the overall MFP market will be directly impacted by ongoing market gyrations. It is confirmed that worldwide spending on IT will slow significantly in 2009, negatively affecting MFP unit shipment volume in the near term. In the December 2008 forecasts, IDC has downsized the market for MFPs to reflect these tough conditions. Having said that, IDC believes that IT spending will make a full recovery by the end of the forecast period and stall any precipitous drop in overall MFP growth," said Sahaja Sarathy, senior research analyst, Hardcopy Peripherals.
