The production and growth trend of the Indian Electronics and IT-ITeS industry since 2004-05 has been as follows: Year The performance of Electronics & IT industry in 2009-10 has shown sustained growth. However, the growth rate in 2009-10 is lower than 2008-09 due to the adverse impact of severe global recession on Software and Services exports which dominates the Industry profile and constitutes about 57 per cent of its revenue aggregate. Notwithstanding this, the fundamentals of the IT-BPO Industry continue to inspire confidence in Investors as indicated in net increase in employment in the sector. The Industry has responded remarkably well to the global downturn. The production performance of various industry groups in the Electronics hardware and Software & Services Sector in 2009-10 is given below: Consumer Electronics Production (Rs. crore) Growth (%) 2004-05 152,420 28.9 2005-06 190,300 24.9 2006-07 244,000 28.3 2007-08 295,820 21.2 2008-09 372,450 25.9 2009-10* 411,220 10.4 * Estimated Indian industry is picking up again after the slowdown in the world economy.

During 2009-10, the production of consumer electronics industry is estimated to be Rs. 30,150 crore as against Rs. 25,550 crore in 2008-09, registering a growth of about 18%. Within this industry, the colour television segment is the largest contributor. The Colour Television market is estimated at 15.15 million units in 2009-10 an increase of 8.4% over 2008- 09. Size-wise, the 21 inch CTV segment continues its dominance, having a 65% market share. In addition, about 5 million 14 inch CTV units have been supplied to Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited (ELCOT), for free distribution by the Tamil Nadu Government. Within the colour television industry space, the LCD television market continues to grow at a fast pace. In 2009-10, the LCD TV market is expected to expand to 1.40 million units, an increase of 57% over the previous year. The price decline due to lower import duty on LCD panels and the introduction of smaller entry size models has widened the consumer base for LCD TVs. This upsurge in LCD TV growth is likely to result in 2.7 million to 3 million units in 2010. Supporting a strong 2010-projected LCD TV sales are IPL cricket, FIFA world cup and Commonwealth Games. The surge in demand for LCD TVs is resulting in substantial increase in the value share of this segment of the colour TV portfolio of major companies. The DVD player market is in a transition phase. The increasing popularity of DTH is posing stiff competition to the DVD player market. With the availability of more than 100 entertainment and news channels and movies-on-demand, DTH services are gradually cutting into the DVD player market share pie and it is felt that this trend shall continue in the times to come. The DVD player total market size is estimated at 6.2 million units in 2009. The market has decreased by 11.5 percent from 7 million units in 2008. The organized segment comprises 80 percent of the market. The Home Theatre segment has shown good 9
