Research and Markets has announced the addition of Western European
Inkjet Aftermarket Overview: 2003-2008 to their offering.
This report provides an overview of the inkjet
printer cartridge market
and aftermarket. It is
an update of the White Paper that was published in
May
2003, and draws upon forecast information
taken from the latest inkjet printer
supplies
forecast for 2003-2008. The report examines the inkjet
cartridge
market and more specifically the
inkjet cartridge aftermarket. It discusses
how
this market is broken down according to various segments such as
original
and aftermarket cartridges as well as
integrated and non-integrated cartridge
types.
It also looks at some of the key issues in the market such
as
collecting empties, the presence of chips,
the increasingly important role
that
environmental legislation is playing, and the growth of the
refilling
retail chains in the
industry.
The inkjet aftermarket includes those ink products
that are not
OEM-branded consumables that are
sold for printers with the same OEM
brand.
Aftermarket ink products can take
several different forms, including
compatible
tanks for use in printers that have a separate head and ink
tank
(typically Canon and Epson cartridges) and
compatible integrated cartridges
where an empty
OEM cartridge has typically been refilled. These are
normally
cartridges for HP and Lexmark
printers. In addition, new market player
Dell
now badges Lexmark printers and hence uses
the same integrated inkjet
cartridge
technology. Aftermarket products can also be refill solutions,
where
there is a way for the user to refill an
empty cartridge and use it again.
These types
of cartridges can take several different forms, including
a
syringe, a refill station, or a click-in
refill.
