Description

U.S. MFP Forecast, 2022–2026

This IDC study quantifies the U.S. multifunction printer market opportunity in detail, analyzing issues, trends, and product advances in this market. Unit shipments, value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data for 2016–2021 is actual, whereas data for 2022–2026 is projected. "The supply chain issues that suppressed supply in the face of growing demand during the second half of 2021 are expected to continue through at least mid-2022, after which MFP vendors must be prepared to serve pent-up demand. The forecast anticipates a surge in shipments in late 2022 and early 2023, though another supply chain disruption would delay that, before the market returns to its long-term trajectory. Ultimately, the greatest growth opportunity lies in moderately priced, business-class color laser and inkjet MFPs designed to meet the needs of remote or hybrid workers and post-pandemic workplaces." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Print Industry Forecasts, IDC

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
