Lyra expects personal monochrome laser MFPs to experience strong growth in unit shipments and revenue in the coming years. New models from Brother, Dell, HP, Konica Minolta, Lexmark, and Samsung are raising the bar for this market segment, with faster output speeds and lower prices (see figure).
Personal monochrome laser MFPs are frequently viewed as straddling the ink jet MFP and single-function monochrome laser printer markets. As a result, the direction of this market segment has been uncertain. Would the proliferation of ink jet MFPs displace personal monochrome laser MFPs? Would the decline in hardware prices for monochrome laser printers and their copier/scanner/fax machine counterparts make device consolidation infeasible? Clearly, the answer to both of those questions is no, as personal monochrome laser MFPs have come into their own as a growing, dynamic market segment.
Purchase this report to see Lyra's shipment, revenue, and installed-base forecasts for this market segment. Also included are average sales price trends for monochrome laser, color laser, and color ink jet MFPs. The growing impact of color laser MFPs is analyzed, and the report provides supplies details for monochrome laser, color laser, and color ink jet MFPs. Buy your copy now!
