COVID-19 IMPACT

Copiers Industry Had a negative Effect Due to Decline in Office-Based Demand during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

A major impact right away was that many people needed to switch their workplaces to remote areas. As offices began to shut down or change to hybrid/remote, the need for copiers dropped a lot because most offices use them heavily.

LATEST TRENDS

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.                         

Driving Factors

Growth of Office and Educational Infrastructure to Drive Market Advancement

One of the key driving factors in the Copiers market growth is Growth of Office and Educational Infrastructure. The addition of more corporate offices, co-working spaces and educational institutions is pushing the growth of the copiers market. Relying on printed papers, offices use paper for contracts, reports and presentations rather than digital options. Likewise, schools, colleges and training centers need printed study materials, exams and handouts.

Integration of Multifunction Technology to Expand the Market

In recent times, copiers go beyond copying and now offer printing, scanning, faxing and copying features. Because of this integration, businesses achieve lower costs, more effective use of space and improved workflows. Managing numerous document processes through one unified device has enabled many companies to ditch standalone machines which has increased the overall market growth.

Restraining Factor

Digital Transformation and Paperless Initiatives Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth

Because digital tools and cloud systems are used more frequently, companies require less paperwork. Moving to a paperless system for both cost and environmental reasons has made fewer organizations use traditional copiers. Because of digital signatures, online teamwork and cloud storage, printing and copying is not needed anymore in education, government offices and corporate workplaces.

Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market

Opportunity

When small businesses expand beyond their home countries, especially in developing countries, demand for both affordable and flexible copiers is rising. To save money and expenses, many small businesses buy multifunction devices that can print, scan, copy and fax. More SMEs buying these devices helps copier manufacturers to focus on making machines that are compact, not costly and can be scaled to meet SMEs’ needs.

High Maintenance and Operational Costs Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers

Challenge

Machines that are used at work or business need routine checks, toner replacement and also a substitute for parts from time to time. The constant costs and the high energy spending in a home can make it very expensive to own. For small and medium-sized businesses such costs sometimes discourage them from using certain services, causing them to choose digital or outsourced options instead.
