(Weymouth, MA) May 21, 2009 . . . According to InfoTrends’ research, the U.S. production copying & printing market continued to experience growth overall in 2008 despite the economic downturn that dominated the year’s end. This growth was fuelled by process color placements, which grew nearly 6% from 2007 to 2008. Nevertheless, this growth was down significantly from the growth that occurred between 2006 and 2007.
Jim Hamilton, a Group Director at InfoTrends, commented, “Although process color is being viewed as a source of new business opportunities, the market will await firm signs of a rebound before committing to new investments even in this area.” InfoTrends has just released its U.S. Production Copying & Printing Market Placements: 2008. This document provides a placement summary for the digital single- and multi-function printers placed in staffed environments in the on demand, data processing, and production copying markets for 2007 and 2008. It also includes an overview of the major market trends that affect placements. Placement data and market share tables from 2006 to 2008 comparing 2007 and 2008 results are included within the discussion of each segment, as well as for many of the sub-segments. The information in this document will form the foundation of the soon to be released U.S. Print On Demand Market Forecast (2008-2013). As with previous forecasts, this document will include placements, installed base, impressions per machine per month, annual impressions, revenue (equipment, supplies, and service), average retail value per image, and retail value of print.
