Market Overview:
The global mobile / portable printers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for mobile / portable printers in retail, transportation & transit, and hospitality applications. In terms of type, the thermal printer segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global mobile / portable printers market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A mobile printer is a printer that is small enough to be carried or transported easily. Mobile printers are often used in field work situations, such as police work or insurance claims processing, where it is not feasible to send the documents to a central print shop. They can also be useful for businesses that have a mobile workforce, such as couriers and delivery services.
Thermal Printer:
A thermal printer is a device that prints text and images on standard paper, labels, cartons or tapes by using a heated ribbon. The technology has been around for more than 20 years but the concept of printing documents on-the-go was introduced only recently with the introduction of Hewlett Packard's HP Latex Printer series.
Inkjet Printer:
Inkjet printer is also known as printhead, which is an electronic device used to print text and images on a printing substrate or paper. Inkjet printers are characterized by the use of at least one ink cartridge containing liquid ink, wherein upon being dropped it will automatically fill the gap with ink. The most common type of inkjet printers are thermal transfer and drop-on/contact printer.
Application Insights:
The retail segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is anticipated to maintain its lead over the forecast period. The growing e-commerce industry has created a huge demand for printing functionalities, which include labels, posters and brochures. Mobile printers have become an integral part of the retailing process, allowing retailers to offer customized printed products that are suitable to customer requirements. This trend is expected to drive market growth over the coming years.
The transportation & transit segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2016 owing to increasing use of mobile/portable printers by bus drivers, railway employees and others working in transportation sector who need frequent reprinting of passes and tickets. In addition, rising adoption of MFPs by public transport operators as well as government authorities responsible for providing travel information is likely to fuel product demand over the next few years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing penetration of smartphones, coupled with high demand for printing services across various industry verticals such as healthcare, retail and hospitality. In addition, rising number of e-commerce companies in developing countries such as China and India is anticipated to fuel market growth over the next eight years.
North America accounted for a significant share in 2016 owing to presence of a large number of market players including HP Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and LG Electronics Inc. These companies are focusing on expanding their business operations through acquisitions or partnerships which will help them expand their product portfolio and geographical reach thus widening the scope for printers in near future. For instance, LG Electronics Inc has acquired webOSPrint from Lexmark International BV; this acquisition will help it gain insights into printer technology thus aiding its development process (LG Electronics).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for mobile and portable printers in the corporate sector for printing documents on the go.
- Rising demand from small businesses for low-cost mobile and portable printers that can print high-quality documents quickly.
- Proliferation of wireless technologies and increasing adoption of cloud printing, which is helping to drive the growth of the mobile and portable printer market.
- Growing popularity of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies in workplaces, which is leading to an increase in demand for mobile and portable printers that can be used with a variety of devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
