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 Hungarian 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.

"More and more enterprises are starting to take into consider not only the initial prices of devices but also total cost of ownership (TCO), and approaching the market from this angle offers much potential. IDC also expects vendors offering wide ranges of products and solutions at competitive prices will be more successful in the coming years." - Peter Halash, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA
