"Vendors are continuing to tailor their go-to-market strategies to specific end-user segments. Buying habits and requirements differ wildly between segments and indeed countries and so the vendors and the channel are constantly altering their strategies to meet those requirements. The home market is an oligopolistic market while the competition in the general office markets is more widespread as more vendors and more models are available. Also it must be pointed out that there are more routes to market for the office market, which gives greater scope and opportunities for the vendors to exploit," said Phil Sargeant, senior research analyst, European Peripherals.
