Ricoh USA Inc. has announced it has secured the number-one market share position for continuous feed inkjet systems in both the United States and Canada in the IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker – Calendar 2024. This is the second year in a row Ricoh has held the number-one position in the U.S.

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 number-one market share accounted for 37.7% of the total inkjet market in the U.S. 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 U.S. and Canada, which we believe reflects our commitment to coinnovate 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. As print providers continue to seek greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability, Ricoh's inkjet and services technology will respond with the speed, quality and flexibility needed to meet evolving market demands."

The global inkjet printers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2025 to 2030. Ricoh credits its number-one 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 trusted continuous feed platform. The RICOH Pro VC80000, which launched in the latter part 2023, has quickly gained interest throughout the industry with commercial printers, having invested in the digital press to transform their production print environments.
