With the evolution of global business, especially the development of media and advertising industries, color MFP products become the major development trend. Besides, laser MFP's price has a slowdown trend, which accords with the market trend of laser products replacing that of ink-jet products, similarly, color laser MFPs will substitute black and white laser MFPs.

While industrial OA matures, MFP solutions tend to satisfy more urgent office demands. For example, logistics and finance industry need MFP solutions to provide high load printing tasks with high printing definition and fast printing speed, while media and advertising industry need MFP solutions to provide high quality, colorful, high definition printing results. Cost is the key issue in OA system construction for enterprises in merging industry and small enterprises.

As MFP providers enhance technologically, providing optimized solutions will be an important approach to enhance their competitive capacities.

High performance, such as high speed, low power consumption, and low noise of these products attracts more consumers, which will be the hotspot in the future MFP market.
