Western Europe MFP Sector Forecast, 2022–2026
This IDC Market Forecast presents a view of MFP shipments in Western Europe by end-user segment, focusing on the home market; businesses with fewer than 10 employees, 10 to 99 employees, 100 to 499 employees, and more than 500 employees; and government/education."As lockdowns eased in 2021, businesses switched their attention back to their internal print infrastructure. Sales of laser devices increased, but supply chain issues curtailed growth opportunities. This stagnation will continue through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023," said Phil Sargeant, senior program director, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions, IDC Europe.
