Yunyong said there was a increasing trend for the use of inkjet printers because of their low running costs and reliability, and for productivity and environmental reasons. To increase market share, the firm will continue to launch new inkjet printers to capture three market segments: low-end and small office, mid range, and high-end. Printers would account for about 80 per cent of revenue, followed by projectors (19 per cent) and robotics (1 per cent). The company expects to gain total revenue growth in fiscal 2018 of around 7 per cent. Toshimitsu Tanaka, managing director of Epson’s regional office in Singapore, said that its focus for 2025 would cover four product areas: inkjet printers, visual products, wearables and robotics.
