More Proof that Optical Discs Aren’t Going Anywhere Yet

Monday January 12, 2009

Despite the slowing sales of DVD devices in major markets, the video optical disc device market is forecasted to sustain its current rates of annual shipments for the next few years. The last big jump in shipments occurred between 2007 and 2008, after which the market dropped a bit due to a decline in DVD device shipments, but now that Blu-ray has begun to catch on the shipments are on a slight rise again. Just don’t expect to see the Blu-ray market produce the kinds of shipment volume that characterized the DVD industry.


DTC has been tracking the optical disc device and pre-recorded disc market for years and puts out an annual data-rich report. For information about this report please visithttp://dtcreports.com/report_optdisc.aspx
