China’s printer market reported growth in shipments in the second quarter of 2022 amid rising demand, according to latest reports from IDC.
During the period, the shipment of printers in China topped 4.84 million units, up 1% year-on-year, data from global market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) showed. On a monthly basis, printer shipments rose 22.3%, according to the data.
Specifically, inkjet printer shipments grew 13.9% year-on-year to nearly 2.14 million units, while shipments of laser printer and impact printer reached 2.3 million units and about 400,000 units, respectively.
According to IDC’s report, the surging demand for printers, especially inkjet printers is due to more people having to take classes online or work from home. First-time buyers still account for a large proportion of the market, so low-cost inkjet printers remain attractive to consumers.
