Lexmark sells laser printers, inkjet printers and all-in-one machines in more than 50 countries around the world, especially low-cost inkjet printers. In 2003, the global market share was 19%. In addition to its own brand, Lexmark also helped Dell sign a printer contract with InfoPrint Solutions jointly operated by IBM and Ricoh in 2003.
In recent years, Lexmark is seeking transformation, that is, from a hardware provider to an unstructured information solution provider. In order to realize this transformation, Lexmark has successively acquired eight software companies since 20 10. Through this series of acquisitions, it provides users with a series of overall solutions including content and process management besides printout. At the same time, Lexmark also gave up its non-core business. In 2007, Lexmark announced its withdrawal from the consumer inkjet market, and in 20 13, Lexmark announced its withdrawal from the commercial inkjet market. Through the above series of measures, Lexmark integrates its software companies to provide users with three solutions to solve the unstructured information problems faced by users, including content management solutions, process management solutions and output management solutions.
