The printers, scanners and imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $97.63 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in hybrid work environments, rising adoption of cloud document management platforms, increasing demand for AI powered document processing, shift toward sustainable printing solutions, expansion of mobile and remote printing capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include cloud connected print and scan ecosystems, AI based document recognition and imaging automation, sustainable printing and energy efficient imaging devices, mobile and wireless printing and scanning adoption, multifunction devices integration in hybrid workflows.

The growth in remote and hybrid work environments is expected to propel the growth of the printers, scanners and imaging market going forward. Remote and hybrid work environments refer to flexible work models that allow employees to perform their job duties outside of a traditional, full-time office setting, either fully or partially. The rise in remote and hybrid work environments is driven by increasing demand for workplace flexibility and organizations’ focus on improving productivity and operational efficiency. Printers, scanners, and imaging solutions support remote and hybrid work environments by enabling seamless document digitization, remote access, and efficient information sharing across distributed teams. For instance, in March 2025, according to a report published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, in the first quarter of 2024, 35.5 million people teleworked or worked at home for pay, up by 5.1 million over the year. These individuals accounted for 22.9% of people at work in the first quarter of 2024, higher than the rate of 19.6% recorded a year earlier. Therefore, growth in remote and hybrid work environments is driving the growth of the printers, scanners and imaging market.

Leading companies operating in the printers, scanners and imaging market are focusing on advancement in high-performance and sustainable digital printing solutions, such as eco-efficient printing technologies, to enhance print quality, improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and support cost-effective commercial printing operations. Eco-efficient printing technologies refer to printing solutions designed to minimize environmental impact by reducing energy consumption, ink and material waste, and emissions while maintaining high-quality output and operational efficiency. For example, in September 2024, Seiko Epson Corporation, a Japan-based electronics company, introduced a new range of Eco-Solvent SureColor signage printers, including SC-S9130, SC-S8130, and SC-S7130, designed for high-quality and efficient commercial printing.
