Lyra Research recently posted its industry findings on the topic: With the worldwide sale of printers increasing by almost 15% each year, the ink and toner cartridge refilling industry now represents a $30 billion market. Printer cartridge recycle products can potentially capture as much as 70% of the printer cartridge aftermarket. According to research by IPSOS Worldwide of Chicago, three times as many consumers would rather refill their empty cartridge than buy a new one. According to the same research, 54% of consumers have indicated their preference for saving money by having their empty inkjet cartridges refilled. This is not surprising when you consider America’s insatiable appetite for computers and digital cameras. Digital photography also has a significant impact on the industry. Another report from Lyra Research finds that worldwide revenue from at-home printing of photos captured by digital camera has a projected growth from $7.1 billion in 2003 to $9.9 billion in 2009, a compound annual growth rate of 9 percent.
