The entry level laser printer market in Australia exploded in Q4 2005, with vendors vying to generate excitement in the sub-A$200 category.
According to IDC Australia's latest hardcopy peripherals research, the
single function mono laser printer market registered significantly
increased activity in the entry-level space in Q4 2005.
"A substantial 27% of mono laser printers were sold in this price band
in Q4, as compared to only 5% in Q3. It also led mono laser printer
market to grow sequentially by 3% in Q4, beating an historical trend of
a seasonal drop in shipments in the fourth quarter", said Rishi Ghai,
peripherals analyst for IDC Australia.
According to IDC, price competition in the mono laser market comes at a
time when buyers are increasingly considering purchasing colour single
function printers and multi-function devices. IDC expects 2006 to be a
relatively softer year for mono laser printers, as colour lasers
continue to strengthen their share, helped by vendors' increasing focus
on the colour segment and the declining price points. However, mono
laser volumes will still continue to dominate the overall laser printer
market.
The Top-5 vendor rankings in the overall single function laser printer
market (comprising of both mono and colour devices) experienced some
changes in Q4 2005 as compared to Q3. While HP continued to hold the
highest share of shipments, Lexmark moved up two positions to occupy
the second rank. In a close competition for the third rank, Kyocera
Mita managed to outperform Brother. Samsung continued to hold the fifth
rank, rounding out the Top-5 vendor tally.
