Print Server Market is expected to expand at a 3.0% CAGR, reaching USD 1.385 billion in 2031 from USD 1.160 billion in 2025.
Print servers are equipment that connects printers to a network thereby enabling multiple users to give commands of printing documents from their computers or mobile devices. These servers are used to simplify the printing process in networked environments by allowing numerous individuals to send documents to a shared printer. Growth in small and medium enterprises has emerged as a significant driving force behind the substantial growth of the print server market.
Surging small and medium enterprise's growth bolsters the print server market growth.
Print servers are implemented in both small and large businesses to manage print requests and give administrators more control over print processes. They are essential elements of a business's critical line of business and office printing. It has multiple advantages making it ideal for small and medium-sized businesses. Growing corporate culture has led to new enterprise establishments which has increased the demand for printer servers. For instance, according to the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises “Annual Report 2022-2023”, there were 633 lakh MSMEs in India by the end of December 2022. Likewise, as per the European Commission’s “SME Performance Review” in 2022, approximately 24.3 million SMEs were active in the European Union-27, accounting for 99.8% of all enterprises in the non-financial industry.
The rise in technology advancement drives the print server market growth.
Continuous advances in printing technologies, such as faster and more efficient printers, add an increasing need for compatible and advanced printer server solutions. Nowadays advanced printers are launched in the market which support a wide range of network protocols, thereby making it easier to connect the most advanced printers to a network and enabling efficient printing across multiple devices. Market players are investing in new technological innovations to provide new upgrades to printing servers. For instance, in October 2021, SEH Computertechnik GmbH introduced the print server ONE to improve professional connectivity in any environment. Using such a server would enable consumers to use the existing USB port on network-connected printers to generate a separate, additional Ethernet connection interface for the printer, and this allows for print data entirely encrypted and obtained via an IPsec tunnel.
Booming cloud- integration drives the print server market expansion.
Print server functionality has been transformed by cloud computing. Print servers can now connect with cloud services, thereby allowing users to print documents from a variety of internet-connected devices. Print management solutions delivered via the cloud improve flexibility and accessibility and users can print from anywhere and at any time with the cloud solution. These developments are propelling the print server market upwards.
North America accounts for the major share of the print server market.
North America is projected to account for a significant share of the print server market owing to the region’s robust growth in small and medium enterprises and technology advancements. For instance, according to the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA), there are 33.2 million small businesses in America, accounting for 99.9% of all firms in the country. In 2022, 5.1 million new business applications were filed in the United States. The governments of such economies are making investments in small enterprises and supporting their growth which has positively impacted the adoption of print servers. For instance, in October 2023, the Minister of Emergency Preparedness issued more than $3 million in funding for four projects aimed at assisting small and medium-sized enterprises.
Security concerns will restrain the print server market growth.
Print servers can pose serious threats to businesses as they can be targeted by cyberattacks. When print servers get compromised, businesses face enormous financial and reputational hazards, as malicious individuals can get access to sensitive data such as usernames, email addresses, or passwords, as well as confidential information that is being printed. These factors may affect the print server industry due to their security concerns.
