The rise in spending on print security is anticipated to propel the managed print services market in the future. Print security encompasses the secure management of print devices and their associated infrastructure. Managed print services help organizations improve document security and promote environmental sustainability.

Overall, 79% of organizations expect their security budgets to increase over the next 12 months in 2024, with projections rising to 86% in the US and 85% in the business, professional services, and retail sectors. Additionally, according to Xerox's report, *The Print Security Landscape*, 67% of respondents reported experiencing at least one print-related data breach in the past year, up from 61% in 2023. Alarmingly, the average financial impact of each breach has risen by 38% year over year, now totaling £1,028,346. Thus, the increase in print security spending is driving the growth of managed print services.
The advancement in digital transformation is set to drive the growth of the managed print services market. Digital transformation involves leveraging digital technologies, strategies, and tools to reshape organizational operations, value delivery, and stakeholder interactions. Managed Print Services (MPS) play a pivotal role in this transformation by offering solutions beyond traditional printing. These services aid in transitioning from conventional print setups to digital platforms, enabling the adoption of cloud-based services, automation of document workflows, and overall enhancement of document management.

Technological advancement is a significant trend gaining traction in the managed print services market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on developing new technological solutions, including cloud-based systems, to enhance flexibility and solidify their market position.

This cloud-native print management information system (MIS) is designed to transform print management for small to medium-sized printers. As a fully cloud-based solution, Nubium allows for rapid deployment and onboarding, enabling businesses to generate estimates and commence operations within the first hour.

Strategic collaborations and partnerships among major companies serve as a crucial strategy to strengthen their market positions. Business strategic partnerships denote structured affiliations between commercial enterprises established through business agreements or contracts. For instance, in December 2022, Konica Minolta, a Japan-based technology company, partnered with Brother International, focusing on addressing the consumer demand for A4 size printers in India. This collaboration aims to capitalize on growth opportunities and synergies between both organizations. Brother International, a Japan-based electronics and tools company, seeks mutual benefits through this strategic alliance.
