Ricoh Ranked #1 for Market Share in US and Canada for Continuous Feed Inkjet

Ricoh USA, Inc. announced it has secured the #1 market share position for continuous feed inkjet systems in both the US and Canada in the IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker – Calendar 2024. This is the second year in a row Ricoh has held the #1 position in the US.

Ricoh has demonstrated consistent year-over-year growth in North America since 2021 in IDC’s tracker, which monitors production inkjet device shipments. According to the tracker, in 2024, Ricoh’s #1 market share accounted for 37.7% of the total inkjet market in the US and 60% of the total inkjet market in Canada.

“We are proud to be recognized again as the market share leader in continuous feed inkjet in US and Canada, which we believe reflects our commitment to co-innovate with the best partners and customers in the graphic arts industry and approach the business as a ‘super’ systems integrator for print professionals running presses and complex workflows on production floors,” said Gavin Jordan-Smith, chief global sales strategy division and North America sales officer, RICOH Graphic Communications. “The combined knowledge and feedback have led to our most innovative hardware and solutions that are accelerating the transition from offset to digital in commercial print.”

The global inkjet printers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2025 to 2030. Ricoh credits its #1 market share position in 2024 in large part to the success of its RICOH Pro VC40000 and RICOH Pro VC80000 continuous feed inkjet presses.

According to Ricoh, the RICOH Pro VC40000 had a stellar year of new device placements, driven by a high-speed upgrade to this continuous feed platform. The RICOH Pro VC80000, which launched in the latter part 2023, has quickly gained interest throughout the industry, with commercial printers, such as Kingery Printing Company and Cimpress, having invested in the digital press to transform their production print environments.
