Abstract

Both DVD players and recorders are growing, in terms of sales, globally. The DVD player market benefits from versatility in form factors. DVD players can be seen in portable renditions, integrated with VCRs, or in the back panel seats of SUVs. While DVD recorders have come down in price, there is still delineation in the pricing of DVD players and DVD recorders-each represents a different value proposition.

DVD recorders are evolving into media server devices. In 2005, Ethernet and USB ports increasingly found their way onto DVD recorders. Added connectivity meant that consumers could aggregate digital pictures, download MP3 files, or transfer old VHS tapes onto DVD discs.

In-Stat reviews in detail the technical and market barriers confronting next-generation DVD players. DVD players based on “blue laser” technology will enter the market at premium prices, and, as there has been compromise between the HD-DVD camp and the companies that sponsor Blu-ray technology, a format battle seems inevitable.

This report examines the following:

The initial Bill of Materials for blue laser players
Regional unit shipments, ASPs, and revenues of DVD players and recorders through 2010
The current position of companies in the “blue laser” format debate, and what will be the consequence to those companies if HD-DVD or Blu-ray emerges victorious
Percentage of DVD players and recorders that have hard disc drives
Silicon vendor profiles in the DVD space
