COVID-19 caused a big downturn in the use of paper in the office. Businesses were forced to operate with many or most workers working from their homes. The result was that much less paper was able to be pushed around and there was an increased use of electronic documents and processes. While the volume of paper snapped back in 2021, the decline of paper is expected to accelerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDC expects<\/a> that this year as many as 47 percent of knowledge workers will be working remotely, a number that has skyrocketed since the start of the pandemic in early 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilona Stankeova<\/a>, senior research director, Imaging Devices & Document Solutions, IDC Europe, said that<\/a> \u201cpages printed at home will not offset declines in offices as organizations and governments continue to pursue paperless initiatives and digital transformation agendas. In 2025, there will be around 2.3 trillion pages printed. Despite the decline this amount still represents about 4.4 million pages being printed globally every minute covering the area of 39 football fields every minute.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
