2 <Overview> I. Theme *2018 version [Toner Market Forecast]* The Future of the Toner Industry Challenged by Environmental Issues =Are European environmental regulations on titanium oxide and U.S. ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 going to block the way?= II. Abstract Manufacturers are transforming the copier/printer hardware device market on a global scale at a faster pace than before. China's Ninestar that merged Lexmark is becoming stronger, whereas the merger plan between Fuji Xerox and Xerox Corporation is getting nowhere, as the shareholders strongly oppose it. What's worse, paper-based printing, for which office devices are most suitably designed, is becoming smaller, leading to common speculation that the scale of the office equipment industry will be shrinking gradually in the future. Amid this, manufacturers are slowing down the pace of development of new hardware devices, which is creating the same trend for toner development. The toner industry is now confronted by environmental issues because use of titanium oxide labeled as hazardous is regulated and if it's totally banned, manufacturers would be have to come up with an alternative material. Amid this, some major manufacturers have already decided not to use the problematic substance for their new toner. In addition, ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 slated to take effect in around 2019 is believed to be more strict than anticipated as so indicated in the draft, calling on manufacturers to become adaptive quickly to such environmental issues. Considering most heat created in a hardware device comes from a fusing system, how far can manufacturers push forward with development of low-temperature fusing toner? Toner with too low a melting point can cause trouble by sticking to one another during transportation. Manufacturers are pressed for development funds but globally applied environmental regulations are becoming more demanding every year. Copier/printer manufacturers are required to tackle the problem with a limed budget but if they lag behind, they can be screened out quickly from the more intensified competition. In the meantime, how do manufacturers handle production of pulverized and chemically prepared toner, while other major manufacturers enter the emulsion aggregation toner market and develop liquid-based toner? There're many other topics relating to toner. Data Supply Inc. has closely watched the toner industry for 33 years and the latest report will provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis and insight into the market based on interviews with many manufacturers inside and outside Japan, as well as their generous support to allow us to cover not only toner matters but also each related material.
