Hence, such developments are expected to boost the growth of the global printers market during the forecast period.
Digitization in enterprises is the key challenge that affects the growth of the global printers market. Digitization has a high impact on the global printer market. Due to digitization, many companies are using online channels to advertise their products and services and to share information. They use electronic versions of documents, such as e-brochures, e-catalogs, e-annual reports, and e-manuals, instead of printed materials. For example, the hard copy of a telephone bill is replaced by its soft copy. The increasing number of Internet users, the rising penetration of smartphones, and developments in communication network infrastructure are boosting the adoption of various digital channels by companies to promote their products and services and to share vital information.

The laser segment shows a gradual increase in the market share of USD 36.02 billion in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Compared to other printing methods like inkjet and LED printing, laser printing has a number of advantages. Because the laser beam can move quickly and print at a much higher speed than other printers, laser printers are faster than other printers. The emergence of compact laser printers, the growing demand for A4 and A3 laser multifunction printers from enterprises, and the decreasing average selling price of laser printers are the major factors boosting the adoption of laser printer technology. Moreover, laser printer manufacturers are focusing on tapping the consumer printer market, which is dominated by inkjet printers owing to their low prices. Thus, these factors will boost the growth of the laser segment during the forecast period.
A single-function printer is designed to perform only printing tasks. A single-function printer is less expensive than a multifunctional printer because of its reduced functionalities. The growing demand for low-end single-function printers in the emerging economies of APAC and South America is driving the growth of the global single-function printers segment. The disposable income of people in emerging countries has been continuously increasing, which is propelling the adoption of single-function printers. Vendors are likely to focus on adopting new technologies, such as AI and the IoT, into single-function printers to enhance their functionality. Also, printer manufacturers are expected to focus more on emerging countries to increase the sales of their single-function printers. which will boost the single-function printer segment during the forecast period.
