Company Overview — What Does Planet Image International Ltd Do?
Our mission is to deliver high-quality and cost-effective printing solutions to consumers around the world with our proprietary technology, research and development capabilities and our integrated and localized sales, logistics and service platform. Through the operating subsidiaries, we are a leading export-oriented manufacturer and seller of compatible toner cartridges based in China, the U.S. and Europe. According to the CIC Report, we were the largest compatible cartridge manufacturer in the world with a market share of approximately 11.3% in terms of retail value in the markets worldwide, or global markets, for the year ended December 31, 2022. We ranked first in the U.S. and Europe in terms of market share for the year ended December 31, 2022. Through the operating subsidiaries, we primarily develop and manufacture toner cartridges that are compatible with, and can be used in, a wide range of commonly available models of laser printers from different manufacturers, or compatible toner cartridges, on a white-label or third-party brand basis or under our self-owned brands. The operating subsidiaries also sell their branded products through online sales channels under three brands, TrueImage, CoolToner, and AZtech. Customers of the operating subsidiaries range from wholesalers, dealers to retail customers. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have a wide international footprint through established sales channels, with products sold to customers in over 45 countries, and sales in the U.S. and Europe representing the majority of our revenue. Through the operating subsidiaries, we sell our products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an Original Design Manufacturer (“ODM”) basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell our self-branded products and white-label products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between ODM products and white-label products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing. In recent years, through the operating subsidiaries, benefiting from the growth in the online compatible toner cartridge market in the U.S. and Europe, we have seen a substantial growth in our sales to offline overseas dealers with growing online sales business. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have established localized sales operations in the overseas markets to manage and maintain relationships with local customers and provide support to offline customer purchasing the operating subsidiaries’ self-branded products and products offered by the operating subsidiaries on an ODM basis. So far, the operating subsidiaries have established sales operations in the U.S., Italy, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. In addition, the operating subsidiaries maintain warehouses in California and Pennsylvania in the U.S., and in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Italy to ensure timely delivery to customers. In North America, most customers of the operating subsidiaries send purchase orders through an electronic data interchange system, or EDI system, maintained by the operating subsidiaries. The operating subsidiaries also have a self-developed cloud-based warehouse management system which was integrated with their EDI system and third party platform to manage the purchase orders, inventory and accounting matters. Offline customers of the operating subsidiaries in Europe and other markets generally place purchase orders with the sales team of the operating subsidiaries through emails. We believe the operating subsidiaries’ strong design, research and development capabilities represent a key strength that allows the operating subsidiaries to provide patent-compliant products with advanced technologies to their customers. After a new printer model is introduced to the market by a printer manufacturer, the experienced research and development team of the operating subsidiaries will aim to design patent compliant compatible toner cartridges that can be used with this new printer model in a short period of time. According to the CIC Report, compatible toner cartridges for a new printer model are generally available for sale within six to 18 months. With their efficient production team and sales team, the operatin subsidiaries are generally able to make their compatible toner cartridges available for sale within three to six months after the launch of a new printer model. We believe that the short time-to-market for the products of the operating subsidiaries is a key competitive advantage. We believe that the integrated business model of the operating subsidiaries, encompassing a value chain from research and development, patented technology, manufacturing, and operating localized sales branches and online sales channels allows the operating subsidiaries to capture industry opportunities in a timely manner and provides us with significant growth potential. We have experienced significant growth since our inception. Our growth is partially attributable to our comprehensive sales strategy and our highly efficient and complementary sales channels. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, and the six months ended June 30, 2023, our revenue was primarily generated from the U.S. and Europe.
