As a follow up to the recent blog posting by Ed Crowley, CEO of Photizo Group, that reflected on significant events that took place in the printing and imaging industry in 2012 and the implications these activities will have in 2013 (http://photizogroup.com/2012/11/the-calm-before-the-storm-of-the-perfect-storm/), we asked our industry analyst team to compile a list of the most noteworthy items of the past year.
The result is our Top 10 Reasons That 2013 Will Be the Year of the (Perfect?) Storm:
10. Big data and data analytics
9. Memjet goes mainstream
8. Chaotic channel
7. Internet of things (IoT)
6. Introduction of the HP Officejet Pro X
5. High rate of first-time MPS engagements
4. Print-volume share of big players (except Xerox) is declining
3. Focus on Stage 3 and 4 MPS
2. Mobile revolution and growth in smartphones and tablets
And the number one reason that 2013 will be the year of the (perfect?) storm is:
1. The continued secular decline in printing
We will be following all of these trends in the new year and analyzing their impact on the printing and imaging market. Additional details on each item on this list, along with items 11-20, are available in our Outlook for 2013 report (click here for details).
