Kyocera proves high-speed cut sheet inkjet production print leadership with No. 1 market share

Fairfield, NJ - Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc., one of the world's leading document solutions companies, is delighted to share that it is a market leader in high-speed cut sheet inkjet production print, according to the latest quarterly data from IDC, the premier global market intelligence firm.

Kyocera commands a substantial 34.5% market share, making the inkjet manufacturer stand out as a pioneer in its market category. It is one of only two manufacturers whose performance has shown growth over the last four quarters total (2023 Q3 - 2024 Q2) in this space, achieving an overall growth of 5.3% vs the same period last year.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Total Production High Speed Inkjet Market experienced a decline of 25.5%, leading to an overall decline of 11.2% over the last four quarters total. Despite this market decline, Kyocera has shown resilient growth, underpinning its place as a major player in inkjet innovation.

This milestone underscores Kyocera's commitment to excellence in the printing industry. By consistently delivering high-quality, reliable, and efficient printing solutions, Kyocera has earned the trust and loyalty of customers worldwide.

In fact, Kyocera's cut sheet inkjet press, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, has been No. 1 in the market for the last three quarters, significantly outweighing its major competitors in market share.

"The TASKalfa Pro 15000c is the undisputed king of the cut sheet inkjet market, consistently outperforming other commercial printers on the scene, and leading the charge on sustainable, efficient, and reliable inkjet innovation in production print," says Dustin Graupman, Senior Director of Kyocera's Inkjet Division.

Kyocera's TASKalfa Pro 15000c offers an affordable entry point into the commercial printing market to small and medium-sized businesses, providing a great return on investment (ROI) and low total cost of ownership (TCO). It is energy-efficient and enjoys exceptionally high uptime of over 90%. The press is capable of printing 146 images per minute both in black and white and in color with no slow down for duplex. Commercial printers have reported monthly outputs of over a million prints with the Pro. It generates excellent quality results, at 600 x 600 dpi or 600 x 1200 dpi, and offers a wide range of media handling for diverse outputs.
