(Weymouth, MA; Luton, U.K.) September 06, 2010 . . . InfoTrends has announced the release of its annual Western Europe Production Printing & Copying Market Forecast. This document provides a forecast for single-function and multi-function devices for the Western Europe production printing and copying market between 2009 and 2014. Forecast metrics include unit placements, installed-base, page volume, retail value, and revenue. It also includes the following segmentation: colour capability, imaging technology, duty cycle, speed (page per minute), feed type, and function. While the overall market has experienced declines, InfoTrends expects the colour market to level out by 2013 at which point it will gain stability. Some of the declines of the black & white market can be attributed to a shift of black & white pages being printed on colour devices. Nevertheless, some of the higher volume black & white segments will experience growth in placements and impressions. Ralf Schlozer, a Director at InfoTrends, stated, “This market has taken a particularly hard hit in recent years, however, we do see some stabilization returning over the forecast period with better times ahead. Improvements in technology will encourage market growth, as evidenced by the shift that is occurring toward the use of high-speed continuous-feed colour inkjet devices.” InfoTrends’ Western Europe Production Printing & Copying Market Forecast for 2009 – 2014 is available for immediate purchase.
