Widespread use of internet-enabled mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops on the iOS, Android, and Windows platforms, has resulted in a significant shift in the productivity of professional employees, as they are now able to perform their duties from home or another location. Despite the increasing prevalence of digitalization, businesses are still expected to rely on printing for their operations. The portable printer market will grow due to the needs of a mobile workforce and mobile device communication support. E-commerce, food delivery, grocery delivery, and logistics have grown rapidly in Asia Pacific and Latin American emerging countries like Brazil, Mexico, China, South Korea, India, and AEAN nations. These firms need on-demand barcode, receipt, and label printing to meet consumer demand in addition to e-receipts, a trend that is expected to continue and boost the portable printer market. R&D investments are improving product precision, print quality, speed, ownership cost, and production capacities. The portable printer market will develop as consumers prefer new items and new technology.
The global market for Portable Printers is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period (2017-2025).
