"The U.S. market is a developed landscape in the remanufacturing industry, but markets like India are fertile grounds for remanufacturing and entrepreneurial opportunities. The printer cartridge remanufacturing industry in India stands on the threshold of peak potential," says Adam Schaffer, Group publisher of Recharger, "The prospect of new business in an up-and-coming market is a very appealing initiative for most entrepreneurs – it is merely whoever takes advantage that will benefit. Consumers are frequently finding that it is more convenient and cost-effective to purchase a remanufactured cartridge over the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) because the price difference can be as much as double."

Attendees can learn the latest quality remanufacturing techniques in classes taught by industry leaders, preview state-of-the-art equipment, learn about products and services to increase productivity and reduce costs.

Facts and Statistics: Remanufactured and compatible cartridges provide consumers an alternative to the often high-priced original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cartridges. More than 3 million companies around the world already rely on quality remanufactured products for their printing needs. Worldwide, the inkjet and toner aftermarket is a US$3-4 billion industry.

OEMs derive as much as 60 percent of their revenue from supplies. Remanufactured toner and ink cartridges can cost as much as 50 percent less than the OEMs, offering consumers a lower-cost alternative. In the U.S. and Western Europe, aftermarket cartridges make up as much as 35 percent of the market share. In India, the percentage is significantly less with a great deal of room for growth. Current estimates show 10,000-20,000 remanufacturers and refillers in India, with only about 20 producing more than 1,000 cartridges per month.
