Overview
The copier market in India is valued at Rs. 850 crore and is a highly competitive one.
The market offers huge potential as the overall penetration of copiers hovers just
around 26%. The market is dominated by a few but strong players like Xerox, Canon,
(Ricoh) Gestetner, and HCL Toshiba. State-of-the-art technology and international
range of machines are being introduced on a continual basis by each player in the
market, in order to
- counter the technological obsolescence
- address varying needs of end-users, especially those from the IT sector
The biggest differentiators in the industry are the penetration and the distribution
strength, areas in which Xerox has built up a considerable edge over other players in
the market. Efficient after-sales-support, which is closely linked to the distribution
strength, is an imperative for any marketer, given the kind of wear and tear a copier
typically goes through. The copier demand has been, to a large extent, fuelled by the
growth in the services sector, with banks and multinational companies leading the
way. The future is likely to be in developing India as a manufacturing base and in
providing comprehensive services to customers.
Demand Drivers:
Though the demand for paper oriented office equipment products like facsimile,
photocopiers, and printers is considered to be on the decline with the advent of
Internet and efficient electronic data transfer, marketers are ruling out the possibility
of a paperless office in India and see a huge potential for their product range. The
drivers for demand are:
- Government: Government organizations are large buyers of copiers, as the
bulk of their daily work requires complex documentation. Most of these
organizations are over staffed, and thus generate large quantities of hand-
written paper, copies of which have to be stored in multiple locations. Also
Government organizations havent yet responded in earnest to electronic
8/2/2019 Ricoh India Limited is a Public Limited Company With 26
2/22
documents and thus have not seen a considerable decrease in copier demand.
The potential for copiers is relatively high in this segment as a typical
Government firm seems to have a need for decentralized copiers (a separate
copier for each department).
- Service Industry: Among the non-government organizations, the most paper
oriented is the service industry, like banks, which requires a greater degree of
documentation. However, this market is declining steadily.
- Jobbers: This is the segment of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It
comprises both corner shop photocopying services and full-fledged
documentation management centers, servicing retail customers. Metros andactive business areas have a high concentration of Jobbers, who service the
retail customers. Copier companies consider this segment as steadily growing
in size, and hence are setting up business centers and franchisees to meet the
documentation needs of the retail customer.
- Corporate: This is an important segment for any marketer (comprises IT and
non-IT companies: both MNCs and non-MNCs). This segment is
characterized by a comparatively higher penetration of the Internet.
Therefore, to survive in this segment, any marketer needs to be customer
service oriented as well as quick enough to introduce the latest technology to
meet ever-changing end-user requirements.
This segment, typically, seeks for a multi-task device that can design, transmit, store,
retrieve, colour, print, copy, merge, scan, and fax etc. The Digital range of copiers
(multi-task / multi-functional ones) are likely to have a great potential in this segment.Increasing market pressures have led to slicker advertisements, brochures, users
manuals, and proposals, which in turn have influenced the demand for colour copiers.
As against the rest of the user segments, both the colour and digital copier segment
are growing in this segment.
Though the small office segment (SOHO Small Office Home Office) is largely a
Printer-oriented one, it offers a good potential for combo machines that can print and
copy, and multi-task / functional copiers.

Long-term value, superior technology and comprehensive customer support are the
universal themes for any marketer to survive in this market.
Superior quality of copy/print, high levels of network compatibility, and higher speed
are other key factors one would look out for in a copier.
Market Structure
The copier market, product per se, gets classified into two basic categories, i.e.
Analog and Digital. While Analog copiers are Black & White machines, the Digital
range comes in both B&W and Colour. Analog copiers, still, account for the majority
of the market, i.e. 90-95%, while the Digital range is at its nascent stage. The market
is equally split between the black & white and colour copiers, with the latter gaining
ground recently. Digital copier, unlike Analog, can be upgraded to local printer, fax
system, scanner, so that it can be used for network printing, sending facsimiles,
scanning etc.
As per the product architecture, the market falls into three categories. They are
basically low-end, mid-end and high-end copiers. The low-end of the market
comprises both personal and low-volume machines, where the copying volume,
typically, would be in the range of 5,000-10,000 copies/month. While the mid-end
copiers are used to copy 10,001-30,000 in a month. The high-end copiers are capable
of delivering more than 30,000 copies in a month.
Copiers are, now, available in a wide range of speed to meet the copying volume, a
user typically have i.e. speed ranges from 4 copies/minute (entry-level personal
copiers) to 35-40 copies/minute (high-end, bulk copying). The mid-end copiers (20copies per minute) account for a larger share of the market.

Xerox, as the market leader holds about 58% of the market, while Canon is an
aggressive follower with 18% and the remaining being accounted by other players.
Xerox ModiCorp (formerly Modi Xerox), generic to photo copiers, has a dominant
presence with 50-60% of the market share in black and white copiers and an even
more stunning 70% market share in color copiers. Canon, having entered the Indian
market in 1997, has been very aggressive in its approach and cornered about 18%.
The companys competitive pricing policy has impacted the overall margins of the
copier market adversely. Canon is followed by Gestetner (Ricoh), HCL Toshiba and
Kilburn Reprographics. While Ricoh is quite well known for its being an aggressive
price warrior, Gestetner intends to further strengthen its dominance in Government
Organizations and aims to become a production base for its parent company.

Xerox
Dr. B.K. Modi, who inherited a vast commodity business from his father Gujari Lal
Modi, with technical and financial collaboration with Rank Xerox, UK (part of Xerox
Corp USA), launched Modi Xerox in 1983. The commercial production of
photocopiers commenced in 1985 in a plant setup in Rampur, UP. The plant was
awarded ISO-9002 certification in '92. Recently, Modi Xerox re-invented itself as
Xerox ModiCorp. Xerox now has 68% stake in the venture, and is aiming at a 100%
ownership of the firm. Dr. B.K. Modi is still the chief of the venture, but is playing a
diminishing role in the venture. In the early 90s, ModiCorp emerged as a vast
conglomerate of the top office equipment brands in the world like Xerox, Alcatel,
Olivetti and GBC. Notable among the problems that plagued Modi Xerox was the
consistent depletion of in-house talent, but the company is eyeing the future
optimistically, looking to leverage converging technologies.
Xerox with a turnover of about Rs.490 crore, has established itself as the leading
photocopier company in the country with a 58% market share. It plays a significant
role in associated office equipment segments such as facsimile also with a marketshare of 25%. Xerox intends to adopt a holistic approach to manage a document in
this age of convergence. This is truly depicted in shifting its positioning from a
`document company to the `digital document company, to go digital. Xerox has set
up a Xerox Business Services division through which it provides complete document
management services. Firms can outsource all their document requirement through
XBS, whi ch will ascertain the clients needs, set up the required machines at clients
premises, along with manpower, supplies such as paper, cartridges and any other
required services. XBS also undertakes activities like scanning and digitizing
documents, such as old court records (this is a project that they have undertaken in
Bangalore) and storing them in an efficient database.
The company offers a wide range of copiers, which are available within the price
range of Rs.45,000 Rs.1.5 crore. This range encompasses low-end entry-level
personal copiers, mid-end, and high-end sophisticated machines. Having established
firmly its presence in the government sector initially, Xerox has now become
8/2/2019 Ricoh India Limited is a Public Limited Company With 26

particularly strong in the corporate segment. However, the company intends to expand
its opportunity in the business enterprises segment, i.e. Jobbers. Xerox adopts both the
direct and indirect mode of approaching the market, in order to achieve larger
presence in the market. The company has an extensive distribution across the
country, with over 300 branch outlets / service centers in all major business centers in
India. Most of the machines sold by Xerox have maintenance and service contracts
with the company leading to substantial service revenues, with around 30% of the
total corporate revenue being accounted for by service incomes.
On the production side, Xerox has been consistently indigenizing the components of
the photocopiers, thus investing its Indian operations with export potential. Rampur is
one of the only three fully backward integrated plants worldwide for Xerox, with
manufacturing facilities for Photoreceptor, Dry powder toner / developer,
consumables and various other components.
Canon
Canon is the worldwide market leader in copiers, and is a name to reckon with in the
imaging technology. Its range of copiers are known for their ruggedness and are
suitable for rigorous- use, with the companys patented `toner projection development
system and `organic photo conductor technology.
Canon India is a 100% subsidiary of the Canon Singapore, which in turn is a
subsidiary of Canon Inc. In India, Canon intends to march ahead of Xerox by
entrenching strongly amongst all user segments. Traditionally, the company has tied
up with local partners for distributing their products, but has stayed away from that
strategy for copiers. In order to achieve indigenisation in its operations, Canon has setup its own assembly line in its pilot plant in Noida, where fully imported kits are
being assembled. In the next phase, it is planning to have a full-fledged plant for its
range of copiers. While Canon has a distribution agreement with Wipro and HCL for
computer peripherals, with Mahatta Camera Co to market its cameras, L&T for fax
machines and Network for typewriters, the company's copier business is managed by
Canon's own subsidiary.

7/22
Of the many models (65 of them!!) marketed by Canon in India, only two are
manufactured locally. Canon has a range of 11 black-and-white and three colour
copiers within the price range of Rs. 40,000 Rs. 10,50,000 (+), at speeds ranging
from four copies per minute to 60 copies per minute.
Canons range of copiers have made their way into the Indian market through grey
channels, much before Canons entry in the market in 1997. This enabled the
company to approach various user segments in the market aggressively, having
strongly entrenched in the mass-end, i.e. Jobbers. The exchange scheme, being
maintained by the company is successful in evoking a good response from the market.
The company claims to have taken initiative in upgrading its customers to eco-
friendly technologies in India, where a majority of machines are still Selenium based.
Competing against Xerox in the corporate segment seems to be a tougher task for
Canon. However, undaunted, Canon deployed ServiceEdge, a customer-care solution
(helps to minimize breakdowns and reduce cycle times), which helps it to provide
better customer support and enables customer to be proactive. The company also
intends to spruce-up its servicing and distribution network.
Gestetner
Gestetner (India) Ltd., achieved a turnover of Rs 62 crore in 1998 and pushed it up to
Rs 72 crore in 1999. In 2000, GIL stated that its strategy would be to strengthen its
marketing focus and target a wide marketing area from their high-end product users to
rural markets.
Gestetner Holdings Plc, UK, holds 51 per cent in Gestetner India, and is itself a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese office automation major Ricoh. World across,
Gestetner Holdings Plc, UK, has been a major marketing channel for Ricoh's high-end
office automation products, with Ricoh's own marketing network in Europe
competing with Gestetner UK's channels which markets the same Ricoh products
under its own brand name. In India, Ricoh markets its products through GIL and its
other subsidiary, Ricoh India (formerly RPG Ricoh). However, there is hardly any
product overlap between the two and GIL operates as the channel for high-end
duplicators from the Ricoh stable currently being marketed in the country.

Gestetner has been in the country since 1924, and its presence predominantly has been
in the duplicating machines. Their marketing efforts have long been aimed at the
Government firms/organizations and educational institutions. About one and a half
years ago, it has entered the copier market (the latest entrant). It is the first company
to launch digital copiers in the country and it markets digital range of copiers only.
The company asserts that its core competence lies in providing the cheapest copying
solution, i.e. laser print at a cost of a photocopy.
GIL also has a manufacturing capacity of 14000 units in Calcuttas Salt Lake Ci ty,
which has been awarded ISO 9002 certification in 1997. However, things are not at
their best at the plant, besotted with labor problems, and the management is looking at
downsizing its thousand strong workforce in the current year.
GIL has a wide range of digital copiers priced between Rs.83,000 Rs.15 lakhs. The
company is targeting its digital copiers mainly at the private sector that comprises IT,
MNCs and other corporate houses. The company offers an exclusive copier range for
their government clients. Company claims to have one of the fastest machines like
`Digital Copy Printer, which can print 120 prints in a minute directly from the
computer, at the lowest cost per copy/print. GIL believes in introducing only a fewspecific international models (R&D efforts are based in UK), which are likely to gain
acceptance in the country.
Gestetner sold around 5242 copier machines in 1998, with an average realization of
around 15000 per machine, and is targeting to sell around 12000 units per annum on a
regular basis, with a good chunk coming from the South East Asian and African
markets. With strong distribution and marketing plans, Gestetner looks well on its
way to its target with a first quarter sale of 3000 units. However, whether they would
be able to keep up the performance levels would depend to a large extent on the
global market leader Canon and Indian market leader Xerox. GIL has a network of 37
sales and customer-care locations in the country.
Gestetner is also looking at considerable growth in the components market as well, as
the group company, Ricoh India sources out most of the components it requires for
manufacturing copiers, importing around 65% of the components. It could be a win-
win situation for both the companies if Gestetner were to supply components to Ricoh
8/2/2019 Ricoh India Limited is a Public Limited Company With 26

India - it will contribute to higher sales for Gestetner and fits with GILs plans of
exporting from India, and Ricoh will be protected from adverse exchange fluctuations
and can reduce their order lead times.
Targeting an ambitious turnover of Rs 100 Crore in the year 2000 (up from Rs 64
crores in 1999), Gestetner India Ltd has chalked out a fourfold strategy:
Focus on projects funded by institutions like World Bank, overseas
development agency, and Asia Development Bank in line with Gestetners'
involvement in their activities worldwide.
Target government and educational institutions where copy volume
requirement is high, while specifically exploring tie-ups with Kendriya
Bhandar and Super Baazar in various states. (Purchases from these two
organizations by most government bodies are not subjected to audit, and thus
greatly enhance the ease of purchase)
Focus on corporate commercial market, where the requirement for colour
copiers is on the rise. A survey conducted by Gestetner last year points to a
migration in favor of color copiers from black-and-white.
Penetrate the jobbers market, which is a major segment in metros, by
developing franchisees and creating a Business Service center with a
standardized branded ambience.
HCL Toshiba
HCL Toshiba (represents Office equipment sub-group of HCL Infosystems), is
another new entrant in the Indian copier market. This company belongs to the HCL,
a corporate giant (worth Rs.3,000 crore) in the IT industry. HCL Infosystems,
initially has a manufacturing base for copiers in technical collaboration with Toshiba,
which was terminated about five years ago. Post-liberalisation, the company switched
over to a much more cost-effective approach of marketing Toshiba range of copiers in
India. This move, from the companys point of view, enabled it to bring in the latest
international technology, swifter than its competition. The company opines that its
8/2/2019 Ricoh India Limited is a Public Limited Company With 26
10/22
mission of treating India an important market (though it has lower penetration of
copiers) on par with other countries in terms of launching the latest technology
(instead of machines with outdated technology, refurbished/ reconditioned machines),
has played a key role in its strong customer franchise (satisfied repeat-buyers and
loyal customers) base.
HCL- Toshibas copier range comes with the latest International technology,
differentiated and user friendly features, for instance, Duplexing (Back-to-back) in
Analog copiers, Uniform processing speed in the mid-range of copiers (irrespective of
the size of paper fed), and the least `first copy out time etc.
High performance has been the core strength of HCL Toshiba range of copiers. Usersof HCL Toshiba show strong brand loyalty towards the brand, which is reflective of
performance of the machine.
Analog range of copiers from HCL Toshiba is available in the price range of
Rs.70,000-Rs.10 lakhs upwards, while the Digital range (B & W) is priced within
Rs.3 lakhs Rs.15 lakh and the Digital range (Colour) priced within Rs.15 lakhs
Rs.35 lakhs. The company claims that its complete product range is backed with the
latest technology of OPC (Organic Photo Conductor) as against the Selenium
technology, which is more or less outdated.
Kilburn Reprographics
Kilburn Reprographics has recently tied up with Wipro Peripherals to boost its
distribution strength. Kilburn, which has around 8% market share in the copier
market, is known for the high quality of its products and is known to sell mainly to
larger firms. End users of Kilburn range of copiers also exhibit high level of loyalty to
the brand.
Future
Reports suggest that the global electronic documents market is growing at 60-70% asagainst paper documents, which are growing at 15-20%. However, advent of the
8/2/2019 Ricoh India Limited is a Public Limited Company With 26
11/22
Internet age does not seem to be deterring the copier marketers in India largely, as the
printing volume (vis--vis copying volume) is expected to grow. This, marketers feel,
would be addressed by the digital range of copiers. The new breed of products
embraces the digital imaging technology, which bundle in photocopiers with scanners
etc., would certainly address this shift.
The copier segment faces a threat of extinction, to some extent, because of the greater
role played by digital methods. Printing, thanks to the technological advances, is now
simpler and quite cheap. According to HP, Copying w ill go away, and not because
HP wants it to. Theres a move towards digital methods, and it will have an impact on
copying and faxing.
Studies show that because of declining prices of network-ready printers and scanning
and printing services, users are increasingly reprinting originals instead of
photocopying them. Towards this end, marketers started introducing `Digital Multi-
task/functional device where the copier technology is used for printing, so that one
have a print at the cost of a copy. This further increases both the speed and efficiency
of the machine.
Just to let one have a peek at the latest technology, where functional convergence is
the key driver for growth. HP has launched multi-feature products such as its AiO
suite printer, scanner and copier rolled into one, and the HP Mopier, one of HPs
Digital Senders with digital messaging and email capability, which are expected to
mark a new era in office automation. As a category, in the Asia-Pacific markets, AiO
products are growing at 25%, three times the rate that common or garden-variety
printers are, though its cost still is forbidding to the Indian users.
In brief, the Indian copier market is an amazing combination of technological
obsolescence (characteristic of a few user segments in the market), demand for high
level of product innovation and a huge untapped potential, which can be led by a
marketer with superior technology and strong distribution muscle.
