Lyra: Color Laser Printer Shipments Show Strong Growth Through 2005

The color laser printer market is one of the fastest- growing market segments in the hard copy industry. Color laser printer shipments are increasing as the performance of these devices improves and their prices decline significantly. In fact, Lyra believes that the color laser printer market represents one of the largest opportunities for office vendors today in terms of both hardware and supplies. Lyra expects that worldwide color laser printer shipments will grow from 1.2 million units in 2003 to 2.1 million units in 2005, a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30 percent. The projected increase in shipments will boost revenue from $2.9 billion in 2003 to $3.6 billion in 2005, a CAGR of 11 percent. This information is derived from A Colorful Future for Office Printers, a new market brief from Lyra Research based on research findings presented at the 2004 Lyra Imaging Symposium. The market brief includes forecasts for color laser printer shipments, revenue, and installed base as well as for color laser cartridge shipments and revenue. It also presents primary research results on the most popular applications used to produce color output and examines aftermarket penetration of the color laser cartridge market. At the special price of $349, this market brief is a great value and a must-read for all players in the color laser hardware and supplies industries.
