In most countries, younger adults boost any Apple iPhone market expansion

Apple’s iPhone slightly leads among American smartphone users and is approaching the halfway mark among smartphone users in the UK. However, the iPhone is losing its share in Japan, and its status in China has been mixed from 2019 through 2023. In nearly every country surveyed, the iPhone’s market penetration has been driven by younger smartphone users, while penetration rates among older smartphone users have remained relatively flat.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of smartphone users using an Apple iPhone split by country and age category. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0209_ipht] in TUP Lenses: Mobile Phones; User Profile; Technology Ecosystems

The unbundling of American home PCs and home printers

The unbundling of American home PCs and home printers – One of the biggest home technology shifts among American adults involves their use (or non-use) of home computers and home printers. Only a decade ago, it was widespread practice to have both a home computer and home printer, and often to buy them at the same time. That has changed dramatically, as the number of Americans using both has plummeted. Instead, there has been substantial growth in the share of Americans using only a home printer or neither a home computer nor a home printer. This shift has played out differently among Gen Z and millennial Americans than among Gen X or Silent/Greatest generations.

This MetaFAQs reports on the number and percentage of Americans by their combination of use and non-use of home computers and home printers. These are split by generational age group. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0205_core] in TUP Lenses: PCs; Printers; User Profile

Younger adults turn to used or refurbished tech

Younger adults are more likely to be sporting a used or refurbished device than older adults. This is especially true in the US, Germany, and the UK. Some of this practice is due to current socioeconomic challenges among younger adults.

The top American page makers

The most active users of printers are generations in the middle, even while overall printer penetration is higher among earlier generations.

Socioeconomic groups with higher incomes, further educational attainment, or children in the household include some of the busiest printer users.

Gen Z print with a little help from their friends

There are times when Gen Z Americans need to get something printed. They will find a way, even if they are economically challenged or so digital-first that having a printer is not top of mind. As compared to earlier generations, a much higher share of this generation relies on others for their printing. Many are the recipient of a home printer as a gift. When other Gen Z Americans print, they often rely on printers they or their employers do not own.

This MetaFAQ reports on the percentage of Americans who have a home printer that was received as a gift by generational group, and also the percentage who regularly use a public or other printer as their primary printer. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0201_pprt] in TUP Lenses: Printers; User Profile

Home printer brand user profile

The American home printer market is not monolithic, and there are, instead, differences in who uses home printers and how they use them. Some brands have targeted or attracted certain demographic groups. HP home printers, in particular, are being used by a higher-than-average share of older Americans and retirees, a group less penetrated by Canon. Brother and Epson have a higher-than-average share of college graduates or post-graduate users. Canon and Epson are used more often than average for printing photos and documents from tablets and mobile phones.

This MetaFAQs reports on the demographic profile of American home printer users, highlighting the distinct characteristics of Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP home printer users based on their age, gender, life stage, employment status, and educational attainment. It also identifies the unique printing activities for each major home printer brand. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0129_prep] in TUP Lenses: Printers; Activities; User Profile

Glimmers of growth and replacement for US home printers

Hopes of growth for the American home printer market are resting in the inertia of the majority who are in a holding pattern. Just over half of American home printer users have a printer and are not planning to buy another in the next year. However, those in the market to buy a printer for the first time or replace an existing printer make up close to 10% of online Americans surveyed. This shows a slow but steady progression of printer use and purchase plans, despite the many who are holding onto their existing printers.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of online adults actively using a home printer or who plan to purchase a home printer in the next 12 months. Growth and replacement plans are split by the active installed base of HP, Brother, Epson, and Canon home printer users. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0128_prre] in TUP Lenses: Printers; User Profile
