This IDC study quantifies the U.S. inkjet and toner cartridge market opportunity and provides ink and toner cartridge forecasts for the MFP and printer segments for 2019–2028. Forecasts include shipments, value of shipments, and ASV. Data for 2019–2023 is actual, whereas data for 2024–2028 is projected."In recent years, the return to the office has slowed page volume declines and have, likewise, supported stronger cartridge sales, with toner shipments showing positive growth in 2022 and 2023. As return to office has slowed, we anticipate ink and toner to resume their mid– to high–single digit year-over-year declines in 2025 for the rest of the forecast period." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
