HP’s Printing Business Is Quietly Collapsing Year After Year. (Consumer Demand Drops 8–9%)

HP Inc.’s printing segment continues to show a clear downward trend, with printing revenue declining year-over-year by roughly 2–4%, alongside falling hardware unit sales, signaling persistent weakness in the core business. Consumer printing remains the most pressured area, often dropping by around 8–9% annually as demand for home printing steadily fades. Even during periods when HP’s overall revenue posts growth—driven largely by stronger PC sales—the printing division still contracts, highlighting a structural shift rather than a temporary slowdown. This ongoing decline underscores how reduced reliance on physical documents and changing user behavior continue to weigh on HP’s long-term printing outlook.
