U.S. Laser A3/A4 MFP Market Shares, 2021: A4 Hit Harder as Vendors Allocate Limited Resources During Supply Chain Crisis

U.S. Laser A3/A4 MFP Market Shares, 2021: A4 Hit Harder as Vendors Allocate Limited Resources During Supply Chain Crisis

This IDC study provides a review of the 2021 U.S. laser A3/A4 multifunction peripheral (MFP) market and vendor shares."As employees began to return to the office in 2021, it was no surprise that more expensive A3 devices geared toward the office regained some market share from the less-expensive, entry-level A4 laser MFPs that were especially popular to outfit the explosion of home offices established in 2020," says Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group at IDC. "As the supply chain crisis tightened in the second half of 2021, vendors further shifted market share toward A3 by directing limited component and shipping resources toward higher-margined A3 devices."
