In the past two years, after we came out with our own branded product, our brand has surpassed Toshiba.
In addition, for laser printers HP is number one, while we're number two.
I don't understand the meaning of this "for" in the last sentence. Could you explain what it expresses? |

I'd understand it to mean
"When it comes to laser printers, HP is number one, while we're number two."
or
"Among manufacturers of laser printers, HP is number one, while we're number two." |
