IDC Survey Spotlight: Is "Sustainability Goals/Priorities Vary by Region" True for the Most Important Ecosystem Partners to Achieve These Goals?

Reid Paquin — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight focuses on the topic of sustainability and the most important ecosystem participants across North America, EMEA, and APAC. While sustainability is a topic that has been discussed for years, for segments like manufacturing, these initiatives have been more aspirational than achievable. Organizations are realizing that sustainability must be ingrained into the business. While this recognition is important, making it a reality is no simple task; it will take a collaborative effort across the ecosystem. In particular, working more effectively with supply chain partners and utilizing business networks is key across all regions.

This IDC Survey Spotlight is based on IDC's August 2025 Industry Ecosystems and Business Networks Study, which surveyed over 1,000 respondents across 8 industry segments and 16 countries across the globe. The goal of this fourth annual survey was to determine business leader sentiment on these initiatives and how to best support transformation.

Business networks can help support sustainability goals, including supply chain efficiency, circular economy, energy/carbon management, and regulatory compliance.

The Essence of the RSAC Conference 2026 for the MDR Market

Yogesh Shivhare, Craig Robinson — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

RSAC 2026 confirmed that MDR is entering a new phase of maturity, shifting from a service category focused on outsourced detection and response to a foundational operating model for modern security operations. AI is now embedded within the core of SOC workflows, but the market is clearly rejecting fully autonomous models in favor of AI-augmented, human-validated approaches. Vendors are aligning around a hybrid construct where automation drives speed and scale, while differentiation hinges on governance, transparency, and service accountability. At the same time, MDR capabilities are expanding beyond endpoint-centric use cases to encompass cloud, identity, data, and emerging AI and cyber-physical environments—raising both the complexity and strategic importance of MDR engagements.

What We Saw: U.S. Consumer and Office Print Activity, 4Q25

Geoffrey Wilbur, Abhyuday Jampu — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective provides an update on office and consumer printer shipment activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 for the United States.

“Printer and MFP shipments beat expectations in 4Q25, as inkjet spending was stronger than expected, driven by holiday spending on consumer-targeted devices. Tariffs stabilized a bit in 4Q25, though economic indicators remained soft, resulting in little change in the underlying economic uncertainty. Shipment declines are expected to be moderate in 2026, softened by comparison with a weak 2025, but current expectations for 2026 face downward risk from geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and lingering economic weakness.” — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions, IDC
