24 Some Key Messages The ink jet and laser cartridge markets remain critically important to OEMs as a source of revenue growth and margin – Growth for some is threatened in part by success of third party industry – OEMs will continue to seek ways of slowing down third parties The OEMs will increasingly focus on the colour laser market – Be ready for rapid growth of the cartridge market – Potential opportunity for third parties to take ownership of the mono cartridge market Be ready for rapid growth in the Lexmark ink jet cartridge market The South African third party market growth should exceed worldwide growth rates over the next few years

25 South Africa
26
26 Desktop Printing Market South Africa What little information is available suggests…… Laser printing market is relatively well developed – Driven by business activity – PC use normal in business environments – OEM growth has fallen below 10% per annum Inkjet printing market is under developed – Low level of household PC ownership – Low level of spending on consumer electronics (e.g. digital cameras) – OEM growth remains between 15 and 20% per annum
27
27 The South African Remanufacturing Industry 100+ players Average monthly output of 400-500 (for each of laser and inkjet) Empties recovered exceed the number remanufactured: – By 35% for Laser – By 31% for Inkjet – Enabler for further growth?

30 Which Means…. The available data suggests…….. Third party ink jet cartridges have much higher market share in South Africa than in Europe and the USA – Compatibles account for well over 50% of ink tanks shipped, vs <30% in USA and Europe – Remans account for over 20% of integrated cartridges shipped, vs <15% in USA and Europe Third party laser cartridges also have significantly higher market share in South Africa than in Europe and the USA Is this correct? How do the OEMs feel about this, and what are they doing?
