Document imaging specialist Kyocera has announced a strong increase in year on year sales for the six months to September 2009, demonstrating that the company is in a good position to navigate the current cost consious business climate.

Kyocera achieved a 15% sales increase in Q2 over last year’s performance. These sales figures have been driven by strong performances in the public sector and the success of recently launched products in the colour range.

Sales Director Graham Cox comments: “Today’s challenging business conditions make it essential for organisations to strip uncontrolled cost out of their operations. Printing has understandably come under scrutiny and customers are looking for a complet package offering streamlined, efficient performance alongside low running and service cost. Kyocera’s Managed Document Strategy (MDS) which is supported by our comprehensive portfolio of printers, MFPs and software solutions, offers unbeatably low cost of ownership alongside high reliability and this is a message that is resonating strongly with our target markets”.

According to an InfoTrend study color printer, printer MFPs and UCPs are the most important class of products of the office workgroup. InfoTrends projects that placements of b/w office printers and copiers are peacking and will decline over the next five years as office color machines become the dominant products in most product segments. Vendors that do not have an agressive color strategy will loose market share and consumables revenues.

Recent research findings strongly suggest that vendor should shift their development resources towards color printers and UCP (Universal copier/printer) devices and away from new, clean-sheet designs of conventional monochrome devices. The focus of any new b/w product developments should be on further reducing costs but not on adding features.

Furthermore, the research studies predict that the digital color market will grow 20% a year through the end of the decade, creating radical shifts in revenue and page volume and transforming the face of the printing industry. The market for digital color is currently generating over 58 billion pages in the U.S and results in over 42’000 hardware placements in production environments. This production market purchases USD 4,46 billion in digital color equipment, services and supplies (excluding paper)and generates almost USD 25 billion in retail value of print (source: InfoTrend, February 2006).

The forecast indicates that color prints will generate the highest growth with single-function and multifunctional color laser printer experiencing 53,7% and 49,3% growth rates, respectively. In 2004 color devices generated 1 out of every 10 prints. By 2009 they will produce 1 out of every 3 prints (source: Info Trends, January 2006).

The forecast indicates that cut-size pages will continue to dominate teh market, accounting for 90% of the market by 2009. Pages imaged on color devices are also expected to grow. Color pages accounted for approximately 13% of all pages during 2004 and this percentage is expected to reach 37% by 2009 (source: Info-Trend, January 2006).

The report says China’s paper industry is the second largest in the world, with its paper production and consumption exceeding that of Japan. The copier paper market segment in China is no exception. The segment is expected to grow through 2008 with sales reaching 790’000 tons representing revenue of JPY 7’141’000. The robust growth can be attributed to China’s soaring economy which has brought about an information explosion and increased the need for paper.

As the installed base of output equipment such as copiers, printers and others is expanding rapidly, the Chinese copier paper market is expected to continue to grow at a rate of 20% between 2002 and 2008.

The study indicates that organizations believed they were spending an average 3% of their revenues on copying, printing and fax related cost. In this case the reality is is twice the perception as the research reveals that overall document expenditures (including hardware, supplies and people cost)in fact reach an average of 6% on annual revenues.

According to the study printing businesses are undergoing a fundamental transformation and digital colour printing technology is one trigger that continues to impact the entire market.

According to InfoTrends/CAP Ventures research digital colour devices currently generate over 43 billion pages in Western Europe. This number is expected to grow at an average rate of 19% in the next five years, amounting to a retail value of EUR 33 billion in 2009.
