The Russian company Teko, one of the leading distributors and suppliers of printing equipment and supplies, made a list of trends, which shaped in 2007 in Russia:
#1: Growing tempo falls and dumping is not a way-out:
Russian marketing of printing equipment cannot boast of 20-25% yearly growth anymore. Some segments show good growth rates, but the overall market growth is slowing down. In 2007shipments of printing equipment grew by 17-20%, which is lower than during 2006 or 2005.
#2: Fluctuatuations in USD rates:
The falling USD and growing EUR and their constant fluctuations made a lot of local importing companies to switch to RUR, which showed higher stability.
#3: Chips and laser color devices are the truth of the day:
Monochrome laser printers sink into oblivion. They are becoming real rarities. Ignoring color is the direct way to failure.
