U.S. Printer and MFP Page Volume Forecast, 2025-2028

U.S. Printer and MFP Page Volume Forecast, 2025-2028

This IDC study quantifies the U.S. printer and MFP page volume market opportunity. It provides an in-depth look at the U.S. installed base and page volume forecasts for the inkjet and laser MFP segments as well as the total page volumes for these segments. The installed base, average monthly page volumes, and total annual page volumes are forecast for 2025–2028, while actual historical data is provided for 2021–2024. This study includes both office and production pages.“Page volume edged upward in 2024, driven by growth in production printing but supported by the return to the office as workers print more in the office than when working from home. However, declines are expected to resume in 2025 and beyond as the adoption of paperless processes continues to exert downward pressure on print volume. Still, printing remains a critical part of the work process, and the combined printer/MFP market remains massive as it is still expected to generate more than 900 billion pages of output annually through 2028.” — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
