Hardcopy Vendor Financials, 3Q24: The Return of Modest Growth

Description

This IDC Market Perspective contains excerpts from public financial disclosures by leading hardcopy vendors and details the impact of inflation, economic uncertainty, and other issues facing hardcopy vendors on performance and forecasts."In the third quarter, almost all hardcopy vendors posted year-over-year growth for their print-related business units. Economic conditions remain soft but have continued to improve, offering an opportunity for continued recovery in the fourth quarter. However, geopolitics, an uneven global economic recovery, and the possibility of price competition are downside risks hardcopy vendors will face in 2025." - Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC
