Retail Value of Toner to Grow to $14.2 Billion by 2005 CAP Ventures research shows the retail value of toner growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% over a five-year forecast period between 2000 and 2005. This will bring the retail value of toner to $14.2 billion in 2005. While the market continues to grow, the printer segments and color devices are carrying all of the growth.
The retail value of the printer/printer-based MFP market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period, from $5 billion in 2000 to $8.6 billion in 2005. In comparison, the copier/copier-based MFP side will grow at a much slower rate of 5% CAGR, from $3.7 billion in 2000 to $4.8 billion in 2005. While toner used in color devices still represents a small fraction of all toner pounds, it is growing very quickly. From 2000-2005, CAP Ventures estimates that consumption rates of toner, in terms of pounds, will grow from 31.1 million pounds to 70.4 million pounds, a 24% CAGR. OEM vs. Aftermarket Ongoing competition between the OEMs and the aftermarket continues to be a relative stalemate. 2001 saw an up tick in aftermarket share as a result of the recession in the United States. On the copier and laser printer side there was growth in share of a point or two. But in the world total, the change was not especially significant. The preceding was an excerpt from CAP Ventures’ World Toner Report Demand Forecast and Production Estimates.
