TV IC Market Experiences Seasonal Decline to 30.8 Million Units Shipped in Q1กฏ09, Down 4.3% Q/Q, But Up 11% Y/Y; Industry Consolidation Continues
Source :Displaysearch update : 2009-07-03
“Concerns over the economic outlook caused set-makers to slash inventory in 2008,” noted Paul Gray, Director of Europe TV Market Research. “Despite this, sales in developed regions have remained resilient, and there is some inventory re-build to support ongoing market levels.”
DisplaySearch’s results also indicate that continued industry consolidation has resulted in an increased share for top-tier IC vendors. At the same time, the real expansion of the flat panel TV market is now in emerging regions and in price-fighter models in mature markets. Specifically, Micronas completed the sale of its FRC, Audio and Demod product lines to Trident, with the remainder of its consumer business (including the TV SoC business) ceasing by the end of the year. In addition, NEC and Renesas announced an intention to merge, and AMD’s TV IC business completed its first quarter as part of Broadcom.
