Indian MPS Mkt To Reach $250 Mn By 2015: E&Y
MPS segment has gained momentum in the last few years as enterprises have started to transition from CAPEX to OPEX business mode of printing.
A new Managed Print Services (MPS) survey from E&Y shows the the Indian MPS market is estimated at $80-90 million and is slated to grow to about $250 million by 2015.
“The market has lately seen enterprises in India using MPS to identify waste and reduce costs related to printing. This expertise is now available to businesses of all sizes ultimately reducing costs and maximising efficiency in the print environment. Having witnessed the scope, more and more enterprises tend to partner with large solution providers to simplify, better manage and reduce the cost of their print infrastructure,” said Milan Sheth, Partner, Business Advisory Services, E&Y India.
MPS segment has gained momentum in the last few years as enterprises have started to transition from CAPEX to OPEX business mode of printing. An estimated $100-120 million remains untapped due to the supply and demand side barriers out of which PSEs remains largely untapped. The report highlights how business processes and IT systems integration will become increasingly important in the near future.
