Worldwide Blu-ray and DVD Player Semiconductors

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Worldwide Blu-ray and DVD Player Semiconductors" report to their offering.

The transition from DVD Player Supplier to Blu-ray players and recorders supplier is creating an opportunity for the semiconductor manufacturer. This report includes a Bill-of-Materials (BOM) for DVD and Blu-ray players. It also includes the Total Available Market (TAM) for DVD and Blu-ray player semiconductors. Silicon vendor market shares for 2008 as well as discussion of the major silicon vendors round out the report.

Blu-ray Chips Overtake Standard DVD Chips in 2009

The transition from DVD to Blu-ray players and recorders is creating a substantial opportunity for the DVD Players Manufacturer, reported In-Stat. Blu-ray player semiconductor content overtook DVD player semi content for the first time in 2009, and is projected to account for nearly three quarters of the combined Blu-ray / DVD player semiconductor revenues by 2013.

Semiconductors for DVD equipment continue to lead in unit volume, said Michelle Abraham, In-Stat analyst. However, the higher priced semiconductors in Blu-ray equipment propelled Blu-Ray semiconductor revenue ahead of DVD for the first time in 2009.

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

● The worldwide DVD player semi market will decline nearly 40 per cent between 2009 and 2013 to $355 million.

● The average semiconductor cost per unit of Blu-ray equipment in 2009 is nearly eight times that of DVD equipment. However, the average Blu-ray semiconductor cost will drop nearly 70 per cent by 2013.

● The leading providers of MPEG ICs for DVD and Blu-ray equipment include Broadcom, MediaTek, NEC, Sigma Designs, Sunplus and Zoran.
