Research and Markets: Xerox Corporation Is A Technology And Services Enterprise, Which Develops, Manufactures, Markets, Services And Finances A Range Of Document Equipment

Posted on: Wednesday, 15 November 2006, 09:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45352) has announced the addition of Xerox: Competitive Benchmarking Report to their offering.

The Office equipment industry is technologically driven and is marked by frequent product innovations. Global revenue from printing and imaging equipment sales is estimated to have reached US$XXX billion in 2004, from the US$XXX billion of 2003.

Xerox Corporation is a technology and services enterprise, which develops, manufactures, markets, services and finances a range of document equipment, software, solutions and services. Its products include printing and publishing systems, digital multi- function devices (that can print, copy, scan and fax), digital copiers, laser and solid ink printers, fax machines, document- management software and supplies, such as toner, paper and ink.

Product offerings of all the four companies (Xerox, Canon, Ricoh and Hewlett- Packard) are almost at par, making the race for market leadership tougher. Xerox is the pioneer in the field of copiers. It developed the first copier in the late 1960s. Barriers to entry are high for the smaller players, as they are unable to make massive investments in R&D initiatives and technological advancements.

This report studies Xerox and its competitors, which operate in the office equipment market, particularly the printing and imaging equipment segment. This includes products, such as scanners, copiers and fax machines. Offices are the primary buyers generating sales for the printing and imaging equipment.

Canon, Ricoh and Hewlett Packard (HP) are the three main competitors for Xerox. Product offerings of all the four companies are almost at par, making the competition more intense.

The report also includes the financial highlights (including stock market performance, P/E Analysis, Price/Sales, Price/Cash flow, Price/Book, ratio analysis- income statement and balance sheet analysis and performance ratios) of the key players.
