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 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.
