New Perspectives for Compatible Supplies on the Russian Market

Information Agency “Business-Inform” has finished the research concerning the requirements of Russian businesses and organizations in office laser printing supplies in 2015. The achieved results allow forecasting that in 2015 the requirements in office laser printing will remain on the level of 2014 (in terms of A4 pages). However, the financing of supplies procurement will be reduced by 22-25% (in USD). To satisfy their requirements in office printing the majority of Russian businesses and organizations will have either to raise the share of compatible supplies in their procurements for 2015, or to divert themselves towards compatible supplies cheaper than those bought in 2014. Thus the companies, which usually have been using OEM-cartridges, are planning to allow the use of premium quality compatible cartridges (40% of total requirements). Companies, which usually have been using premium quality compatible cartridges, are planning to allow the use of lower class compatibles cartridges (up to 50-60% of total requirements). Companies using cheap compatible cartridges will be forced to buy even cheaper models of compatible cartridges. Companies engaged in printing outsourcing are also planning to use more compatible supplies.
