Market Analysis
Market overview – the A4 MFP Market
The A4 market, in terms of unit sales, is a much bigger market than the A3 equivalent.
Since the A4 market is set to grow by 35% CAGR between 2004 H1 and 2008 H2, it is clear that there is plenty of
demand for A4 products.
However, the majority of sales of A4 products are for slower, desktop models, often black and white – the kind of
machine you can buy in any IT retailer.
In other words, the A4 colour business MFP market is still very much in its infancy, with small black-and-white units
dominating sales.
