Chapter 10 - LCD Panels
In January 2007, according to Electronics Weekly, Market watcher iSuppli predicted a
slower growth of the LCD-TV market this year. 62.5 million units would be shipped
in 2007, a 57 % increase from the 39.7 million in 2006, but only 95% of the 2006
growth.
Although worldwide LCD-TV factory revenue is expected to increase by 20% in 2007
($53.5 billion, from 2006’s $44.7 billion), the prediction of the revenue slowdown
was said to be a larger impact than the units sold, with about 56% decrease in
growth compared to 2006 (which was 76%).
According to the Electronics Weekly news “The number of LCD-TV units shipped in
2007 will increase dramatically for sets that are 40-inches and larger, iSuppli
predicted. For LCD-TVs in the 40-inch to 41-inch range, iSuppli said manufacturers
will ship 2.3 million units by Q4 2007, up 60.3 percent from 1.4 million in Q4 2006”.
