Abstract
This IDC study offers a forecast of the worldwide and U.S. DVD markets. The red
laser DVD forecast focuses on the following market segments: DVD players,
recorders, combo devices, home theater in a box solutions, portable, and
automotive. Also included is a forecast of the emerging blue laser, or
next-generation, DVD segment. This forecast does not include DVD drives
intended to work in conjunction with personal computers. This forecast also
does not include DVD drives that are incorporated into game console devices.
"Red laser DVD is quickly becoming old news even as it remains viable in
emerging markets. Blue laser DVD shipments are projected to reach over 26
million in 2011. However, mass market consumers will not engage with
next-generation DVD until prices drop and a format winner is determined." -
