Worldwide Hardcopy Peripherals Market Poised to Begin Slow Recovery in 2013 Following Double-Digit Decline in 2012, According to IDC
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Despite a 10% year-over-year increase for the full year 2012, the color
laser multifunction peripheral (MFP) market declined 1% in the fourth
quarter of 2012 (4Q12) as ongoing weakness in the global economy finally
caught up with this segment. This marks the first quarter where color
laser MFP contracted year over year to 995K units. Overall, the
worldwide hardcopy peripherals market declined 11.2% year over year in
4Q12 to 31.1 million units, according to the International Data
Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker.
"The inkjet market is largely responsible for the declines due to weak
consumer demand. However, business inkjet growth is solid, and these
premium-priced products are helping vendors to overcome some of their
consumer revenue declines. IDC (News - Alert) expects the market will slowly begin to
recover as consumer confidence returns, but growth rates will be in the
single digits," said Phuong
Hang, program manager, Worldwide
Hardcopy Peripheral Trackers.
Technology Highlights
-
Inkjet accounted for 64% of the total hardcopy peripherals market in
4Q12 with more than 19.8 million units shipped, declining 14% year
over year. All regions experienced year-over-year declines in the
quarter.
-
Monochrome laser represented 27% of the total market, up 2 points from
4Q11. Monochrome continues to be very much in demand in business
environments, especially in times of financial hardship. Most pages
printed are in fact monochrome, and the A4 MFP is becoming a popular
model in environments where no color is required.
-
Color laser decreased 11% year over year on shipments of more than 1.7
million units. Eventually, color devices will overtake monochrome in
volume. There are aspects of monochrome that are declining, but color
is rapidly developing in both A4 and A3 markets.
Vendor Highlights
-
HP leads the global hardcopy peripherals market with 38.5%
market share and more than 12.9 million units shipped in 4Q12. HP
achieved its best year-over-year results in China, growing 1% to over
983K units in the fourth quarter. For the full year, HP held 38.9% of
the overall market on shipments of nearly 13 million units.
-
Canon (News - Alert), the number 2 ranked vendor, captured 22.4% of the market
in 4Q12, up 3 points from a year ago. With 6.9% year -over-year growth
in the quarter, Canon had the best performance among the top 5
vendors. Canon also grew an impressive 40% year over year to reclaim
the top spot in Japan, with more than 1.8 million units shipped in the
region.
-
Epson maintained its spot among the top three vendors in 4Q12
with 14.4% share, down 2 points from a year ago, and shipments of 4.5
million units. Epson's best results came in the United States, where
it experienced 11% year-over-year growth in the quarter. For the full
year, Epson experienced a decline of 23.9% year over year, the
sharpest drop among the top 5.
