Kyocera attains #1 for SA’s copier and MFP markets for CY 2019
KDZA sends a big thank you to you, our partners, for contributing to our status as leading supplier of printing and document management solutions.
Results from market data specialist InfoSource’s annual research, show that we attained the top position as market leader in the office automation industry for Copier/MFPs in Southern Africa – placing first overall among leading brands for CY 2019 with a market share of 14.8%, where A4 achieved first place at 20.9% market share and A3 achieved fifth place at 8.4% market share.
We’ve maintained our reputation for reliability and service excellence over the years, and our guiding principle of the company “to do the right thing as a human being” is proving to be a powerful business driver. In fact, we believe the future of the company and the planet depends on it.
Chief among this philosophy is our proud heritage of eco-consciousness which has resulted in a basket of products with compete reliably across each segment in the market. We are proud of the fact that every conceivable step is taken to minimise waste ~ from the conception and design, through to packaging, operations and recycling.
I’ve been asked why Kyocera is number 1 in A4 copier/MFP and number 5 in A3, and the easy answer is that the A3 market is largely colour only. While different players dominate each segment, Kyocera’s A3 copier/MFP range continues to make a name for itself, having maintained a top five position over the past five years. In that time we have also maintained a top two position for A4 copier/MFP. The A4 market is wide and proves to be cost effective for clients with its mono and colour printing options, making it the logical economical choice if clients do not require A3 printing.
Our consistent performance as a leader in South Africa puts paid to the notion that we can thrive while still making durable, long-lasting products that consider the environment and the future. Despite a weak local economy and deteriorating global conditions we’re feeling upbeat about our position and encourage you to stay focused on the positives.
