“Despite the extremely tough economic conditions, we are delighted to have retained our market share and achieved the No. 1 spot by a comfortable margin yet again this year. We were the first to launch Ink Tank printers in India and since then, our printers have been widely accepted by cost, quality, and environment-conscious consumers across segments. Be it for home, office, business, or commercial printing,  consumers rely on Epson EcoTank printers for all their printing needs. Our EcoTank printers are both economical and eco-friendly and our consumers appreciate this” said Mr. Siva Kumar, Senior General Manager, Inkjet Printers at Epson India.

Epson expects the demand for printers to remain steady in 2020 despite the current worldwide crisis. The demand is expected to be driven by the increasing work from home culture as both working professionals and students address the requirement to print their documents. Epson will also drive the growing shift from Laser printing to Inkjet printing which is a more Economical and Eco-friendly printing technology.
