InfoTrends Launches Photo Merchandise Trends Consulting Service

(Weymouth, MA) March 04, 2009 . . . The photo merchandise market currently offers the highest growth potential of any segment within the consumer digital imaging market. In fact, InfoTrends projects that the U.S. photo merchandise market will achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% from 2007 through 2013.

There are many options for companies to participate in this market, whether it is as an OEM, a retailer with their own equipment on-site, an online provider that works with a print-service provider, or a software developer that works with partners to improve the interface with the customer. To be successful, however, it will be important not only to accurately select product offerings that will grow and retain a customer base, but also to make the correct choices on what other companies to partner with to deliver the most satisfying product to each individual customer segment.

Subscribers to this dynamic new service will benefit from a continuous flow of information provided through forecasts, end-user studies, and other research reports and analysis, as well as access to analysts with extensive market knowledge.
