This study discusses the market for hardcopy peripherals - single function and multifunction. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. Neither does it cover wide-format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Baltic States peripherals market from 2008 through 2012. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and average street price (ASP) information is presented. Data for 2006 - 2007 is actual, whereas data for 2008 - 2012 is projected.

"The Baltic States HCP market grew healthily in 2007. Thanks to increasing consumer purchasing power, shipments of inkjet MFPs drove the overall market. In addition, a gradual decline in the average prices of laser devices meant the SoHo segment accounted for the bulk of both mono laser MFP and mono laser printer purchases. In the business segment, the popularity of complex printing management solutions and awareness of color laser technology's advantages are constantly growing." - Przemek Kowalski, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA.
