IDC Tracker

IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Industrial Printer Tracker® fills the need for detailed and timely information on the global industrial printing market. This market includes devices for non-document printing applications, which are separated into five major categories: large format, label and packaging, direct to garment, industrial textile, and direct to shape. The core of this product is a comprehensive electronic database, detailing developments and trends as more and more industrial printing applications realize the benefit of converting to digital. It includes powerful query capabilities using filters such as ink type, media size, absolute speed, max print width, media output, and primary application. Data can be drilled down to be as granular as model-level information per vendor. This product also provides insightful vendor share historical analysis along with units and value forecasts up to five years for each product category by ink type, media size, hardware class, or primary application per country per region.
