According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker, the worldwide hardcopy peripherals market recorded more than 36 million unit shipments in the first quarter of 2011.

IDC (News - Alert) expects the earthquake and tsunami in Japan will have little to no impact on the global imaging market and that the negative impact will be felt more strongly for laser devices than for inkjet. "So far, we have had no reports of stock shortages for hardware. We anticipate the laser forecast for Japan will return to positive growth by early 2012," said Phuong Hang, program manager, Worldwide Hardcopy Peripheral Trackers. Technology Highlights
