Description

Worldwide MFP and Printer Forecast, 2024–2028


This IDC study quantifies the worldwide multifunction and single-function 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 2021–2023 is actual, whereas data for 2024–2028 is projected. This forecast is consistent with IDC's 3Q24 Worldwide Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker."The hardcopy peripherals market has struggled through an uncertain economic outlook in 2023 and 2024. As more economic certainty returns, printer and MFP shipments are expected to return to more modest annual declines throughout the forecast period. Even in a slowly declining market, growth opportunities exist, particularly in the color laser segment and, geographically, in emerging markets." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at 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.
