Samsung Cartridges Show Strong Growth through 2009
LYRA RESEARCH
Lyra anticipates that the presence of aftermarket cartridges will grow among all printer engine manufacturers through the end of 2009, with the largest growth expected for Samsung engines. Increasing shipments of printers from Samsung’s low-end monochrome laser printer line are primarily responsible for this growth. Lyra anticipates a 17 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for toner cartridges shipped for Samsung engines from the years 2004 through 2009. Brother is also expected to experience aftermarket cartridge growth, though not quite as strong. Lyra anticipates that the CAGR for cartridges shipped for Brother devices during the same time period will be 5 percent.
