Canon Solutions America Supports Canon’s Continued Recognition as Market Share Leader for Total Production Inkjet


MELVILLE, N.Y, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon Inc. has been positioned in the Leaders Category of the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide High-Speed Inkjet Press 2022-2023 Vendor Assessment (doc #US50457023, April 2023).

According to the IDC MarketScape report: “In 2020 and 2021, Canon launched three new inkjet presses: the varioPRINT iX sheetfed inkjet press and the ProStream 1900 and ColorStream 800 web-fed inkjet presses. The launch of these new products has driven dynamic new unit installations and page volume growth in general commercial print, high value direct mail, and photo specialty print over the last several years.”

Additionally, Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., was recognized by Keypoint Intelligence as the Market Share Leader for Total Production Inkjet for 2022, maintaining the same top spot it earned in 2021 and the majority of the last decade. For the second consecutive year, Canon also achieved the No. 1 market share in both the Sheetfed Inkjet Market Share and Webfed Inkjet Market Share categories. These recognitions come on the heels of widespread market accolades and customer praise for complete Canon’s inkjet portfolio including the Canon varioPRINT iX sheetfed inkjet press and the Canon ColorStream and ProStream webfed inkjet presses.

“Canon’s investment in the production inkjet market is continuing to bear fruit,” said German Sacristan, Group Director, Production and Principal Analyst – Print On Demand Services for Keypoint Intelligence. “The market is demanding quality, productivity and reducing costs, and Canon has been consistently looking to fulfill those needs.”

Canon was also recognized as the leader in market share for total production inkjet again in 2022 by Keypoint Intelligence. In total, Canon comprised 41 percent of the total high-volume inkjet market share for U.S. placements, with no single competitor registering higher than 14 percent. Canon also maintained its No. 1 position in both Sheetfed Inkjet Market Share and Webfed Inkjet Market Share.

“Continuing to invest in our production inkjet product portfolio has allowed us to help meet customer demands and grow their business, and we are very proud that those efforts have again resulted in being the market leader for total production inkjet,” said Shinichi "Sam" Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We strive to provide the technology and premium service and support to give our customers the best experience possible when they invest in Canon’s inkjet presses, and earning the top market share is the result of that dedication.”
