WW HCP market declined 7.5% in Q1

May 21, 2020

The worldwide hardcopy peripherals (HCP) market declined 7.5% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2020, according to IDC.

Worldwide shipments of hardcopy peripherals contracted 7.5% year-over-year to 21.1 million units in the first quarter of 2020 (1Q20), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker.

The severe year-over-year drop was due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption as most vendors have their manufacturing plants in China. The brightest spot for the quarter was the year-over-year expansion of colour laser multifunction printers (MFPs) in the 21-30 ppm range, which grew 3.0% to approximately 793,000 units shipped.

Notable highlights from the first quarter include that Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) and Japan are the two regions with positive year-over-year growth in unit shipments during 1Q20, with CEE growing 1.8% to approximately 1.3 million units and Japan increasing 5.2% to more than 1.1 million units.

According to IDC, ink tank devices continue to expand year over year, growing 5.5% to approximately 3.7 million units shipped.
