Canon gets IDC recognition

In its new analysis of the worldwide high-speed inkjet press market, market intelligence company IDC has positioned Canon as a leader in the ‘IDC MarketScape: Worldwide High-Speed Inkjet Press 2019-2020 Vendor Assessment’.

The report recognises Canon’s “comprehensive range of high-speed inkjet production printers incorporating both continuous feed and sheetfed platforms,” its “complete direct sales force to cover all global regions”, and its “high levels of expertise in not only installations and support but services and business development.” The study has evaluated and compared both the current capabilities of the key vendors and their future strategies to meet expected customer requirements for high-speed inkjet production presses. Noting that “Canon has strengthened its position in its core markets of transaction and corporate/large enterprise print while expanding out into the graphics and commercial printer space…”, the report also references Canon’s objective of wanting to be the “pathway to digital” for the still largely untapped analogue/offset market.
