Actionable Intelligence and Int'l ITC Kick Off Multi-Client Research Project on Remanufacturing Industry

By: PRLog
FRANKLIN, Mass. - Feb. 1, 2018 - PRLog -- Actionable Intelligence and the International Imaging Technology Council (Int'l ITC) are partnering to launch a comprehensive examination of the North American remanufacturing industry. The multi-client study, which is currently open to subscribers, will combine qualitative and quantitative inputs to offer a complete picture of the dynamics shaping the region's remanufacturing industry. The report will also feature 15 in-depth profiles of the largest remanufacturers based in North America.

"We are thrilled to be teaming up with the Int'l ITC to do this first-of-its-kind study of the North American remanufacturing industry," says Charles Brewer, president and founder of Actionable Intelligence. Tricia Judge, executive director of the Int'l ITC, states, "With Actionable Intelligence's unparalleled coverage of the hardware and consumables markets and the Council's deep understanding of the remanufacturing industry, we can provide subscribers to the study with critical business insights into the current health of the remanufacturing industry, which firms are growing and which are declining, and how business models are evolving within the industry."

Leveraging the thousands of articles currently available at www.Action-Intell.com along with interviews of various industry stakeholders, the multi-client study will deliver a thorough understanding of how the latest hardware featuring competing technologies, form factors, and feature sets are gaining or losing market share. The study will also feature survey results of Int'l ITC member companies to answer key questions such as:

·      Which companies continue to remanufacture?

·      How are product lines changing as hardware changes (ink vs. toner, A3 vs. A4, color vs. mono)?

·      What channels (online, office-equipment dealers, IT VARs, etc.) are the most effective?

·      Where will the North American industry be in five years?

As Ms. Judge explains, the North American remanufacturing industry is mature and consolidating, but it continues to generate billions of dollars in annual revenue. She acknowledges, however, that demand for remanufactured cartridges in the region is being tamped down by the growing availability of newly manufactured, third-party compatible cartridges along with a secular move away from printing. "Regional remanufacturers are finding it increasingly difficult to thrive as they cope with the demands of the twenty-first century market," says Ms. Judge.

Mr. Brewer agrees: "The remanufacturing industry in North America is being squeezed. On one side, OEMs are developing new channel strategies to compete more effectively with remans. On the other side, they face relentless pressure from third-party supplies vendors grabbing share with new-build compatibles. In the face of all this, we seek to understand how the remanufacturing industry is doing and where it is heading."

Subscriptions are currently being accepted to the study, which is expected to be released in late March or early April. Additional details are available upon request by contacting Actionable Intelligence or the Int'l ITC.
