Kazakhstan Printers 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Shares

This study discusses the Kazakhstan market for electronic printers – monochrome and color as well as impact and non-impact – used with all levels of computer systems. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. It also does not cover wide format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Kazakhstan printer market from 2002 through 2008. Unit shipment, value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data for 2002-2003 is actual, whereas data for 2004-2008 is projected.

"Though the trend that has been established in more developed markets for multifunctional products to cannibalize sales of single-function printers is also correct for Kazakhstan, the potential for double-digit growth of the printer market will remain in the country for at least the next three years, as printer penetration in Kazakhstan lags far behind that in the CEE region." — Andrey Verkhovod, IDC Research Analyst, Central Asia Region
