Abstract
This study discusses the market for SF printers used within all levels of computer systems. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. It also does not cover wide format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for Africa printer market from 2006 through 2010. Unit shipments, value of shipments, and average street price (ASP) information is presented. Data for 2004-2005 is actual, whereas data for 2006-2010 is projected.
"With competition increasing on the African printer market, vendors must not only team up with the right local companies, they must conduct continuous training and education programs for channel partners and end users, increasing awareness of available technologies." - Mitri Roufka, Research Manager, IDC CEMA
