Managed Print Services: Impact on the Supplies Market; An In-Depth Study on the U.S. & European Markets

Publication Date: November 2010
Service: Professional & Managed Print Services

Introduction

MPS will control 28% of the US office environment print volume and 22% of the Western European office environment by 2014. However, there wasn’t a clear understanding of how MPS would impact the market for supplies – until now.

InfoTrends study entitled Managed Print Services: Impact on the Supplies Market, takes an in-depth look at the impact of MPS on the supplies market. It addresses the following key objectives:

• Measure the overall impact on print volume, paper use, and associated supplies consumption, including the increased duplex printing and the double impact on paper
• Understand and forecast any shift to non-OEM consumables and that impact on overall aftermarket and OEM share
• Identify the disruption of current distribution channel dynamics
• Identify how and why supplies decisions are made under an MPS engagement
• Understand the impact on toner, ink, cartridges and paper

Analysis & Project Deliverables

We conducted extensive analysis of desk research, personal interviews, and surveys to develop a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and threats presented by managed print services. Purchasers of the study will receive a combination of reports; presentation materials; and data for senior management, product managers and planners, as well as sales and marketing executives. These materials will include:

• Executive summary with key findings and actionable recommendations
• PowerPoint style document with bullets, charts, and actionable recommendations

  - Measure and forecast changes in print volume by organization size (vertical if possible)
  - Measure and forecast impact on monochrome versus color printing
