Electronics Market Growth Predicted to Drop to an Average of 6% for Next Four Years.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c42126) has announced the addition of World Electronics Industry 2005-2010 to their offering. It took 5 years for the electronics industry to climb back to the level of 2001. With 1,069 billion euros in 2005, the electronics industry finally surpassed the previous record year - 2000, when it reached 1,000 billion euros for the first time in its history. The telecom crisis of 2001 now firmly belongs to the past. More pertinent, however, are the growth perspectives over the medium term. With 6% average growth from 2005 to 2010, electronics equipment production will still grow twice as fast as world GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. , fuelled by the development of electronics in every application area, from mass-markets to professional electronics. After two consecutive good years in 2004 and 2005, with, respectively, 6.8 and 8.8% annual growth, production of electronics equipment should grow slightly over 8% in 2006. Between 2007 and 2010, growth should slow down, with a peak year in 2008 (+6.1%) due to the favourable impact of the Beijing Olympics on the global demand for electronics equipment. The electronics industry is now more mature, increasingly linked to the development of the world economy. All application areas share global growth almost equally, although the situation can be more diverse in some sub-segments (flat panels vs. CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. TVs, mobile phones vs. fixed phones, PCs vs. mainframes, etc.). Each application of the electronics industry has its own specific drivers (consumer demand, investment cycles, infrastructure deployment, societal needs, etc.). More importantly, the electronics industry is no longer stimulated by the seemingly random emergence of a killer application, but rather by a more dynamic trend in new products introduction in all application areas. This tends to make the industry more robust and more resistant to unexpected downturns in any one of its major markets. 60% of electronics output now consists of mass-market products (including automotive electronics), driven by the convergence of product areas that used to be differentiated as "computers", "telecoms" or "consumer". This convergence facilitates the rapid penetration of new, multi-purpose products worldwide (e.g. mp3 players and smartphones). It also reduces the time between introduction and mass deployment and fuels the need for continuous innovation. Today, mass-market products are the undisputed market and technology drivers in electronics. This report includes forecasts for 2005-2010, detailed by applications and world region, both for market and production. - Products and Business segments analysed Consumer : TVs (CRT, flat), set-top boxes (digital, satellite, cable), VCRs, camcorders (digital, analogue), DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.
