Worldwide Hardcopy Peripherals Shipments Were Down 1.2% in the Third Quarter of 2018, According to IDC
The worldwide hardcopy peripherals (HCP) market declined 1.2% year over
year to approximately 25 million units shipped in the third quarter of
2018 (3Q18), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker. Both inkjet and laser unit
shipments experienced a year-over-year decline in the quarter, falling
1.5% and 0.7% respectively.
Notable highlights from the quarter include:
-
The Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APeJ) region delivered
year-over-year growth in unit shipments for the fifth consecutive
quarter, increasing 0.9% in 3Q18. The top three contributors to the
region's growth were China, India, and the Philippines. Inkjet growth
in the region was largely driven by ink tank printers, which saw a
22.1% increase. This was the first quarter where Ink Tank shipments
were greater than Ink Cartridge, making Ink Tank the leading product
in the inkjet market for APeJ with 51.1% share.
-
Color laser's year-over-year growth of 2.3% was helped by strong
performances from 21-30 ppm and 31-44 pm devices. Four of the top 5
companies (in terms of units), including HP Inc., Canon (News - Alert) Group,
Brother, and Ricoh Group, recorded year-over-year expansion in color
laser shipments.
-
Canon Group outperformed all the other companies in the top 5 with
year-over-year shipment growth of 7.7% to approximately 5.3 million
units. The U.S. market was one of the key contributors to the
company's results, delivering a 20% increase in inkjet and 41%
expansion in the laser market.
