CAP Ventures Releases New
Report
on the Western European Inkjet Cartridge Aftermarket
(Norwell, MA) June 17, 2003...According to a new
report by CAP Ventures, the total market for inkjet cartridges in Europe will
grow from 246.4 million units in 2001 to 346 million units in 2006, a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The aftermarket accounted for 14% of this
market in 2001 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% to 16% market share in
2006. CAP Ventures findings are available immediately in a new white paper
entitled Overview of the Western European Inkjet Cartridge Aftermarket.
"The aftermarket is an important part of the
inkjet printing landscape, but it will face complex challenges as it works to
grow its share of the overall inkjet cartridge market," commented Norah
Seery a Director at CAP Ventures. "These challenges will come from a number
of areas including, more complicated products from OEMs in terms of new
products, applications, types of ink, and media; continued market consolidation;
and the use of smart chips."
CAP Ventures believes that ultimately the
aftermarket and OEM companies in the cartridge market will continue to exist
side by side. The market, although challenging, is large enough for both to make
a healthy profit.

update on the European inkjet aftermarket. It discusses the size of the inkjet
aftermarket and how it is broken down into various categories such as brand of
cartridge and type of cartridge. The report also provides information on the key
