Market Trends of Managed Print Services Industry
Initiatives by the Retail Sectors to Reduce the Paper Wastage
- An unmanaged output condition leaves retailers with huge fleets of devices with multiple vendors, models, supplies, and service contracts. Frequent failures of outdated equipment and an overburdened help desk can adversely affect store operations and shoot up expenses. An output strategy is crucial for improving productivity and decreasing costs.
- Reliability is always outstanding, especially for core applications that you depend on daily, such as the printing and publishing of signs, shelf strips, and labels. A high level of efficiency is required in the retail sector. It must be achieved to streamline the process and save on the costs incurred. Therefore, it is easier and more cost-effective for retailers to choose managed print services instead of having their production lines.
- MPS strategies for retail should identify the right number of networked printers based on specific tasks, physical location, and the need for redundancy. Simply imposing generic printer ratios on end users or looking for the lowest possible acquisition cost can generate disappointing results. A plan is needed that perfectly balances cost savings and productivity enhancements. An MPS approach is needed that works seamlessly with existing help desk systems and allows for a variety of service models.
- Retailers have been compelled to reevaluate their business practices as a result of the growth of e-commerce and the migration from traditional brick-and-mortar sites to online storefronts. Smaller and home-based businesses seek out small quantities and bespoke print designs and sizes. In contrast, retail behemoths demand aesthetically pleasing and top-notch print quality with vast quantities and lower price ranges. As a result, managed print services and their network are the best options because they can supply prints and quantities in line with various requests.
- The analyzed market is driven by the ongoing expansion of global retail and its revenues. For example, the US Census Bureau predicts that total retail sales will reach USD 6.6 trillion by the end of last year, an increase of around USD 1 billion over the previous year.

North America is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share
- The growth in the North American region is primarily attributable to the region's increased start-up activity, favorable government regulations, and the presence of major printer and copier manufacturers. The market for managed print services is also expanding due to the greater adoption rates in the U.S. government and healthcare sectors.
- With so many challenges putting the government under pressure, it's easy to overlook the opportunities in paper-intensive work processes. Xerox Managed Print Services for the U.S. Federal Government uses a secure FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) authorized cloud to streamline processes and improve employee efficiency. Risk and cost are better managed, and service delivery and productivity improve.
- With the increased revenue generated by the healthcare sector in the United States, doors are getting opened for the various technologies associated with increased efficiency. Managed Print Services (MPS) in healthcare directly address these problems by putting in place device standards in stages.
- The USA is also one of the largest spenders on its healthcare and healthcare infrastructure; for instance, the NHE fact sheet projects that national health spending will increase at an average annual rate of 5.4% from 2019 to 2028 and reach USD 6.2 trillion at that time. This poses a huge opportunity for the market in the region.
- The insurance industry in North America has seen substantial growth in the past. As the insurance industry responds to increasing market and cost pressures, optimizing the print environment is essential to saving time and money that could be better spent working with customers and growing the business.
