Product Definition:
Printer software is a computer program that allows users to control and manage their printers. Printer software is important because it allows users to customize their printer settings, print documents, and manage printer tasks.
Printer Driver:
Printer Driver is a software that acts as an interface between the computer and printer. It controls various operations of the printer such as setting print options, managing print jobs, monitoring status etc. The driver also allows remote access to printers from computers over a network.
Global Printer Driver Market by Type (OS/2, Windows), 2012 - 2022 -> The global printer driver market size was valued at USD 1,270 million in 2014.
Printer Utilities:
Printer utilities are the printer specific software that allows the user to control and manage all aspects of a printer. Printer utilities include features such as print management, remote printing, network printing, document feeder and paper handling among others. Printer utilities allow easy access to printers from multiple locations through a computer network or internet connection.
Application Insights:
The OEM application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 60% in 2017. The printer OEMs are focusing on providing a unified software platform, which can be used across all devices and operating systems. For instance, HP has just launched its new software platform named as HP ePrint Enterprise that enables users to access and print from any device connected to the internet, without needing a driver or firmware installation. Similarly, Epson is also planning to provide an integrated solution through its cloud printing service called as ¢â‚¬Å“EPSON Stylus NX500 Printer Driver Software Edition v2.0 for Windows NT 4/8/10¢â‚¬ announced in July 2017 for various devices such as tablets & smartphones with Android OS 4.4+ or iOS 8+.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rising demand for cost-effective, high-quality printers software from OEMs and end users across various industry verticals such as healthcare, retail, transportation & logistics (T&L), banking & financial services (BFS), government & defense, among others.
The region is witnessing a surge in demand for mobile printing apps along with an increasing number of smartphone users. Furthermore, growing penetration of cloud technology coupled with advancements in networking infrastructure has led to increased adoption of networked printers that enable wireless printing between different devices within a home or office environment. This factor will further boost market growth over the next eight years.
North America accounted for more than 20% revenue share in 2017 owing to presence of numerous large market players such as HP Inc., Xerox Corporation; local presence of companies like Apple Inc.
