Mobile Printing Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (Peer-to-Peer Wireless Printing, Cloud Printing), By End-User (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2021 To 2026

The global mobile printing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 16.77% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$7.627 billion in 2026, from US$2.577 billion in 2019. 

Mobile printing is a process where data is sent from a smartphone to the printer wirelessly and is an emerging printing process. Mobile printing can be done via two approaches: the first one involves direct data transfer to the printer by a mobile phone and the second one involves an indirect data transfer from a mobile phone to a computer attached to the printer. This technology enhances the security of the device and system by enabling the user to set a password to prevent any unauthorized access. It also reduces overall installation costs of network points and fitting cables.

The market for mobile printing is increasingly being driven by the rising number of smartphones and tablet users, the growing mobile workforce, and the high rate of adoption of BYOD (Bring Your Device) programs among various enterprises. A growing focus on a centralized printing environment to reduce installation costs of a large set of printers at the workplace will further propel the growth of the global mobile printing market during the forecast period. However, security concerns regarding potential data leaks through unauthorized access to printed documents will hinder the growth of the global mobile printing market. North America is expected to hold a significant market share due to the increased adoption of cloud storage technologies while Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth.
