SHAH ALAM, 7 April 2021 – The printing industry was challenged last year to maintain and grow their businesses in the face of competition, changing market trends, demands from customers and the ongoing pandemic. The restriction in movements have impacted the industry’s players in a way no one expected, pushing them to develop new ways of coping with the new normal.

Despite these challenging times, Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd (“Canon”) continues to lead the printing industry and has been named by global research firm IDC as the No. 1 Inkjet Printer brand for 25 consecutive years and No.1 Laser Printer brand for 6 consecutive years in Malaysia. The result is based on findings from IDC Asia/Pacific Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker 2020Q4.

Kuala Lumpur, 7 April 2021 – Malaysia is reaping the benefits of a digitally-enabled citizenry with more Malaysians embracing digital engagements with the Government, according to VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW). In the new VMware Digital Frontiers 3.0 Study, 45% of respondents indicated that they are happy to interact digitally with the Malaysian government, a positive step towards the country’s vision of growing its digital economy and becoming the “Heart of Digital ASEAN”.

A key to achieving Malaysia’s “Heart of Digital ASEAN” vision lies in the embrace of technologies of the future. With Malaysian consumers becoming more trusting of emerging technologies such as facial recognition (61%), artificial intelligence (57%) and 5G (64%), the time is ripe for Malaysia’s public sector to step up experimentation and innovation, accelerating the digital pivot of Malaysian society towards an increasingly digital future.
