The Indian printer cartridge industry is being driven by the growing electronics sector in the region, leading to the increased penetration of PCs and printers in the region. With the increasing demand for printers, the market is witnessing a healthy growth. In 2020, the inkjet printer shipments in the region grew YoY by 5.6% led primarily by Epson. The major factor driving the industry further is the rising demand for ink tank printers which recorded YoY growth of nearly 20% in its shipments in the region, the highest growth in the last five quarters. While the overall laser printer market declined YoY by 12%, the copier segment grew by 19% YoY, recording the highest shipment ever in the year. The key manufacturers are switching from ink cartridge printers to high-capacity ink tank printers as they offer a smaller environmental footprint than laser printers and even ink cartridge printers, further offering a huge value by sharply lower printing costs. The copier market grew as a result of its strong demand from the government sector and the government’s continued tight monitoring of the refurbished copier market. These developments in the printer market are expected to support the growth of the India printer cartridge market positively.
