New FMI Report Explores Impact of COVID 19 Outbreak on Retail Printers and Consu

Posted by aliena on December 9th, 2020

The retail printers and consumables market is forecasted to progress at a healthy CAGR of 5.3% and 5.0%, respectively, in terms of value through the period of forecasting between 2017 and 2027. The growth of the market is primarily driven by the growing adoption of labelling in warehousing and online stores along with the implementation of labelling in business, which is in turn, creating demand for retail printers and consumables. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic brought operations in several end-use industries – including departmental stores and warehouses – to a screeching halt, thus leading to a downfall in sales.

“Rising adoption of retail printers and consumables in supermarkets for various applications will remain a crucial growth attribute. Furthermore, retail printers are gaining remarkable traction in the retail industry, where they are used for labelling and storing information of a particular product,” opines FMI analyst.
