Brainware/perceptive software

The office document imaging hardware market has continued to contract. While our print volume forecast shows office print bouncing back from pandemic-induced lows, we predict it will never return to pre-pandemic levels. Commensurate with that, our A3 office forecast shows that most segments in the A3 space will continue to contract. Oki Data has already exited the US office document imaging hardware market, and as our financial analysis of the leading document imaging OEMs shows several many of the major players are surviving on single-digit profit margins.

Add in chip shortages and supply-chain woes, and the print hardware market is a tough place to make a decent living unless you are providing A4 inkjet devices to newly homebound workers. Witness: Epson and HP are doing just fine that is, until everyone who needs a printer has one. Meanwhile, all things to do with digital transformation continue to explode. Our Document Solutions Forecast predicts that the pandemic and here-to-stay hybrid workforce have only accelerated the adoption of paperless solutions that enable workers to access content and business-critical workflows no matter where they are working.
