Introduction
InfoTrends is focused on one of the most strategically important segments of the digital printing industry: high-speed black & white printing systems. For all the success that the Xerox DocuTech has experienced over the past 10 years, there are still over 275,000 analog copiers in the marketplace today. InfoTrends believes that this base of analog devices will soon shift to digital solutions, creating a unique opportunity for many companies.
As part of this study, InfoTrends spoke with over 300 users, resellers, and vendors. The results provide answers to many questions necessary for your strategic planning, product development, and sales and marketing initiatives.
Key Findings
-
U.S. companies spent $3.1 billion in 2000 for black & white print on demand
systems and their related services and supplies. Research indicates that this
market will experience a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 20.4% to
reach $8.0 billion by 2005.
-
Production sites will not be buying copiers in the future. They will be purchasing networked print on demand systems with scanning, workflow, and in-line
finishing options.
-
Of the 312 print providers that InfoTrends interviewed, only 6%
plan to purchase a high-speed analog copier in the next 12 months, while 28%
plan to buy a print on demand system.
-
Most equipment dealers cite print on demand as the most attractive revenue
and profit opportunity for their company. With a score of 8.1 (10 = best
opportunity), high-speed black & white print on demand systems received the
highest opportunity rating by equipment dealers.
