Thus, laser printer market manufacturers can upgrade their printing machines to 3- D printers for meeting the increasing demand. 

The computer to print plate automation will lead the migration of companies into digital channels. As the designer will easily able to send files to electric plates without any intermediary.

• Restraints

Since, digitization has increased, laser printer market manufacturers might suffer losses. The companies and users might shift to cost-saving and paperless products like e-vouchers, e-catalogs, and online tools or targeting the consumers. In addition, the development of eco-friendly materials will increase the prices of feedstock in the short run as suppliers of soy ink are less while are buyers are in huge numbers. Laser Printer Market has a high dependence on feedstock prices that includes solvents, paper-based materials, and other external factors. The prices of raw materials are highly volatile which poses higher risks for laser printing market manufacturers.

• Challenges

There has been a growing demand for digital tools which are cost-effective and can be consumed within fewer times. Hence, the demand for paper-printed materials can be impacted severely. Also, Laser printer manufacturers are pressured for maintaining environmental sustainability, which is expensive. The eco-friendly products are costly as it is still in the developmental stage and are sold by not many suppliers. This raises the cost of laser printing. In addition to this, laser printers applied for commercial purposes require high maintenance and capital cost which can pose a challenge to laser printer market growth. Besides, there has been a reduction in marketing campaigns as companies are using digital billboards, signages, and other digital promotional products.

• Cumulative Growth Analysis

Organizations and other purchasers of laser printing products are focusing on marketing activities. This includes print channels and suppliers that are being equipped with services that will increase the growth of laser printing market. In addition to this, new improved payment solutions are taking place which will enable manufacturers to realize their payments faster. Increasing digital capabilities will enable laser printer market manufacturers to supply the printed product faster and on-demand.

Value Chain Analysis / Technology Analysis / Regulatory Implications

There is high demand for printing technologies to improve productivity and efficiency within the workflow. Laser printing machine makes use of laser beam for producing high-definition image than a normal photocopier.  The font sets in laser printers are presented in unlimited numbers which have increased the demand for laser printers in commercial use.  It has gradually replaced the use of inkjet printers, due to its simplex nature, cost-effectiveness, and high output speed.

Besides, cost-efficient printing solutions in the corporate sector are estimated to increase the growth rate of laser printing market share. As large companies, government sectors, and individuals are expected to be the end users of laser printers. Governments in developing regions are using kiosks and other types of marketing tools for promoting their policies to the general public which is an impetus of laser printer market growth.

In the recent, laser printers are being updated with cloud services where images can be directly sent to the printer storage. Thus, laser printer market will require embedding devices with data protection legislation for protecting the information from unauthorized use.
