Japanese digital imaging major Canon, which launched three high speed “Ink Tank” printers in the G-series in India on Wednesday, is doing research and feasibility studies to explore the possibility of manufacturing its products in India, a top company executive said.

While the printer business is declining in the country in line with the drop in the personal computer market, India has witnessed growth in the inkjet category – printers which are generally preferred in homes and small businesses.

“We are putting equal emphasis on the B2B (including business to government) and the B2C spheres to expand our India business,” Kobayashi said.

“We now have six such facilities spread across different parts of the country. Our aim is open 15 such facilities in the country by the end of 2019,” he added.
