The Future
As has already been stated, the A3 monochrome MFP market is under a great deal of pressure, and is gradually
shrinking. However, it still accounts for the majority of the market (in terms of unit sales) and therefore cannot not
be ignored.
The future (according to IDC) shows a marked move towards the higher end of the market, with the 21-30ppm
segment falling significantly, the 31-44ppm segment shrinking, but slowly and the 45-69ppm segment actually
growing slightly.
The new MX-M36
x
to MX-M50
x
models obviously fit into the relatively healthy segments. The MX-M283N can be
considered a high-quality unit in the 21-30ppm category. The additional finishing, security and Sharp OSA
functionality not usually seen in this segment are potential sales arguments that can keep Sharp competitive in a
shrinking market.
