It was revealed that major fax service providers, including eFax, were expecting to see increased market shares of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openpr.com\/news\/1937732\/cloud-fax-solution-market-is-expected-to-double-its-market-size\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">over double<\/a>\u00a0what they currently have. For those outside the corporate world, this might come as a surprise \u2014 surely nobody sends fax anymore? But anyone in the business environment is likely aware of the current reliance of fax for commercial organisations.<\/p><p>eFax previously wrote a blog about\u00a0important fax statistics. We encourage you to read it for all the important details, but the key takeaways are that fax machines sales are still in the millions, with billions of fax documents transmitted every single year. Major economies across the world \u2014 from the USA to Japan \u2014 use fax machines regularly. In non-commercial environments, fax is certainly dead and has been since the early 00s, but even in the most modern of business sectors, you\u2019ll still find day-to-day use of fax.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4875236 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4875236\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Fax Is Still Used?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-707d4a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"707d4a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We\u2019ve established that fax is not dead. But why not? If you look at fax technology on paper, the fact it retains such an important place in business culture is a bit mind-boggling. Fax as a technology was invented in the 1840s and popularised in the 1970s. Other technology popular during the hay-day of the fax machine includes floppy disks, cassette tapes, and Atari games consoles. Far superior inventions surpassed every one of these technologies and sent them the way of the dodo. So why then does fax remain so many decades later?<\/p><p>The simple answer is, there is just no replacing fax.<\/p><p>Fax has a few significant benefits over any other kind of document communication format. Their highly visual nature makes them easy to dissect and extract information quickly, and the nature of sending image files improves the legal authenticity of the content. As a result, you\u2019ll find industries like healthcare, legal, and finance all rely on fax just as much in the present day as they did thirty years ago. And this reliance has a trickle-down effect. If large companies and organisations require fax, it means those working with them do as well. This fact has resulted in a web of fax connectivity; a web in which many, many businesses have become entangled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81b4d8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"81b4d8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Problem with Traditional Fax<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70ebcbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70ebcbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We use the word \u201centangled\u201d as though the use of fax is a bad thing.

We\u2019d never suggest fax was bad; we think fax is fantastic and that every business should use it. But, while we love fax, we do have a problem with fax machines.<\/p><p>Fax is a communication system, whereby visual documents are sent between two parties. One way to send a fax \u2014 the method most commonly associated with fax \u2014 is to use a fax machine. Fax machines are the issue.

Other industries are backing their objectives. Many businesses are trying to cut down on the volume of faxes they send.
