| DVD: Recorders Coming On Strong, Players Subsiding |
 |
In 2003, we saw DVD recorder unit shipment increase over 200%, as more manufacturers entered the market and the prices declined. DVD recorders will slowly take over for DVD players, in combination with products such as DVD+VCR, DVD+HTiB, and TV+DVD. The DVD player market will begin its decline in 2005 though the portable and automotive segments will continue to grow. SACD and DVD-Audio will increase their market penetration as the costs to add this feature decline.
This DVD market research report contains five-year worldwide unit shipment,
ASP, and revenue forecasts for DVD players and recorders by region. Five-year
unit shipment forecasts for SACD, DVD-Audio, connected DVD players, DVD recorders
with hard drives, DVD recorders with DTV tuners, connected DVD recorders, and
blue-laser recorders are part of the report, as are five-year forecasts for DVD
player and DVD recorder bill of materials. |
