Industry Impact of Covid-19 on Large-Format Printer Market
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic continues to unfold, with severe impact on people, communities and businesses. As a result, Technavio believes that growth in several industries will be impacted significantly. However, numerous other markets may remain unscathed and show promising growth opportunities during the pandemic. As the pandemic spreads in some regions and plateaus in other regions, the company is revaluating the impact on businesses; it will also update its report forecasts.
As of the present, the research firm asserts that the Information Technology industry is expected to have mixed impact due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus. However, the Information Technology market will have direct impact due to the spread.
“Even if the spread of virus is contained, we expect that it may take more than two quarters (six months) to reach a normal state of economic activity,” Technavio stated. 
In the short term, the market demand will show at-par growth due to the increase in infections and reduced economic activity.
Notably, as the business impact of Covid-19 spreads, the Large-Format Printers Market by Technology and Region – Forecast and Analysis 2020–2024 study projects that the market is expected to have neutral and at-par growth.
