And
that figure is forecast to further grow, spurred by surging demand for
printing equipment and desktop printing applications. Global shipments
of printer consumables have undergone sustained growth, spurred by the
surging demand for printing equipment and high performance desktop
printing applications. However, the industry is not without its
challenges.For makers of remanufactured cartridges, empties are harder
and more expensive to obtain because end users continue to resist
recycling. Hence, makers may have to put in place more sophisticated,
and often more costly, reclamation schemes.Furthermore, brand owners
have been aggressively defending their patents in courts by filing
lawsuits against ink cartridge manufacturers and distributors over
infringing inks. While this has failed to put a serious dampener on
growth, makers are compelled to enhance product value by improving the
performance of their offerings and applying for patents in major export
regions.The printer cartridge and toner supply from Greater China is a
mix of compatible and remanufactured units that commonly support
printer brands such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Epson, Canon, Lexmark and
Brother. Zhuhai in Guangdong province is the main production center for
printer cartridges and toners. It hosts two of the largest makers in
the region, both of which are featured in this report. Factories in
Zhuhai produce about 70 percent of mainland China’s output.makers of
printer ink and toner cartridges, continuous ink supply systems and ink
refills in Greater China, which collectively produce about a quarter of
the industry’s output. The majority of these makers typically generate
more than 50 percent of their sales revenue from exports.Based on the
manufacturing, product development and export statistics provided by 38
printer cartridge and toner manufacturers, including 31 from mainland
China, four from Taiwan and three from Hong Kong – Mainland China
suppliers have monthly production capacities of up to 6.5 million
units. Many of these makers have excess capacities to cope with new
orders.- Large-volume makers prefer to focus on compatible toner
cartridges, while entry-level and mid-sized suppliers concentrate their
effort on remanufactured toner cartridges.- While most makers ship
their products predominantly to established markets such as Europe,
North America and Asia, some are exploring emerging opportunities in
Africa and Oceania. Makers outsource a considerably large portion of
the manufacturing processes to cut down on production costs. Only final
assembly and packaging are mostly done in-house.- Manufacturers are
keeping price increases to a minimum to avoid losing out to
large-volume makers that can offer competitive prices.- Production of
water-resistant inks and IC designs as well as increasing ink and
powder capacity and print yield are some of the key R&D
initiatives.- Ink cartridges will continue to dominate this market
segment well into 2007, but toner cartridges are gaining traction.To
come up with this report, the research teams toured the factories of 21
makers and discussed with top-level executives about manufacturing,
sales and export performances. The report has an in-depth profile of
each of these makers, as well as detailed profile tables of another 17
suppliers.All suppliers were asked to participate in a survey designed
to provide insight into product and price trends, and major issues
facing the industry in the next 12 months. The Industry Background
section highlights the main sourcing and manufacturing hubs, as well as
the covered regions’ export orientation and major challenges. This is
followed by the Manufacturing Capability section, which outlines the
key production processes and quality control procedures adopted by
manufacturers.SUPPLIER PROFILES
