Temporary Price Reduction: Was $49, Now $25. Today's remanufacturing industry is enjoying strong revenue and profit increases, but countermoves by OEMs and other competitors affect the outlook for future growth. Lyra Research recently completed a U.S.-based primary research study among rechargers to examine the state of the remanufacturing industry. Cartridge Remanufacturing: Profits and New Challenges enables you to: 1. assess how your business stacks up to other remanufactuers; 2. understand the key reasons why rechargers say customers buy from them; 3. see how rechargers rate their future growth opportunities and biggest business problems; and 4. examine and compare your industry supplier experiences and expectations. The report found that while remanufacturers reported competing with a variety of cartridge resellers, including retailers, contract stationers, and mail-order suppliers, the majority of rechargers said that their most important direct competitor was in fact another local remanufacturer (see figure). Additional study findings examine: 1. differences in client bases served between larger and smaller remanufacturers and the industries in which they each specialize; 2. how and where rechargers obtain the majority of their cartridge production and collection; 3. how rechargers rank client needs; 4. critical marketing tactics for remanufacturers; 5. what rechargers perceive as their critical business challenges and opportunities; and how rechargers rate industry suppliers on price, delivery, and technical support. The wealth of information found in this new study, and the special $49 price, makes Cartridge Remanufacturing: Profits and New Challenges a must-read for all industry players Report Sections: 1.
