Global HDTV Market 2014-2018 with LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony, TCL & Toshiba Dominating
M2 - Fri Jul 11, 3:04AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pfsgkh/global_hdtv) has announced the addition of the "Global HDTV Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global HDTV market will grow at a CAGR of 3.84% to 2018 The growth of the Global HDTV market is driven by the decline in the prices of HDTVs, which was attributed to the low cost of LCD panels. The low price of HDTVs attracts first-time buyers, especially those in emerging regions. Availability of TVs with a large screen and high resolution in the market is encouraging existing customers to make new purchases. The emergence of Chinese players poses a threat to well-established South Korean and Taiwanese players. Chinese players such as China Star, Nanjing CEC-Panda LCD Technology Co. Ltd., and BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd. have surpassed one million unit shipments of LCD TVs per month. They are investing heavily in their facilities to enhance their production capacity. The Chinese government is supporting these players by increasing the import duty on LCD TVs, which has resulted in an increase in the price of other brands. Further, the report states that the emergence of low-cost manufacturers from China is one of the major challenges faced by HDTV companies. With the availability of highly skilled LCD manpower and subsidies from the government of China, the Chinese players are able to manufacture low-cost LCD TVs and sell them at a lower price than their competitors in the international market. This results in a decline in the sales and profit margins of international manufactures such as Samsung and LG. The following are the minimum attributes for HDTV: - 1080i- 1920X1080i (1080 interlaced) - 720p- 1280X720p (720 progressive) Key Vendors - LG Electronics Inc. - Samsung Electronics Co.

Global Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Wed Jul 02, 2:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m6227p/global_hard_disk) has announced the addition of the "Global Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. A HDD is a device used to store and retrieve data. A HDD consists of one or more stiff, rapidly rotating disks that are covered with magnetic material; these disks have magnetic heads that can read and write data to and from their surfaces. HDDs are very important devices for the secondary storage of data in computers. They are classified as digital, magnetic, non-volatile, random access, and data storage devices. There are two types of HDDs: internal and external. An internal HDD resides within a computer and stores the user's software and personal files. An external HDD resides outside a computer and is used when the internal HDD memory does not have sufficient storage capacity. This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global HDD market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales and unit shipments of HDDs for desktops, laptops, notebooks, ultrabooks, enterprise businesses, and consumer electronics such as gaming devices and music players. This report does not include HDDs for tablets or HDDs used in NAS and SAN, nor does it cover SSDs. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top three vendors in the market. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the Global HDD market. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market. Key Vendors - Seagate Technology plc - Toshiba Corp. - Western Digital Corp.

Global Super Junction MOSFET Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Mon Jun 30, 8:56AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kkl9pd/global_super) has announced the addition of the "Global Super Junction MOSFET Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering. The Global Super Junction MOSFET market will grow at a CAGR of 11.6% to 2018 Global Super Junction MOSFET Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the APAC and EMEA regions and the Americas; it also covers the Global Super Junction MOSFET market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. Super junction MOSFETs are power semiconductor components used for high-frequency and high-voltage applications. They are fabricated using two types of technology, multi-epitaxial growth and deep trench. Multi-epitaxial growth technology uses the multiple epitaxy and doping processes to create a doped area in the epilayer, which diffuses and creates an N-doped layer. Deep trench technology uses the deep reactive ion etching technique to create a trench, which is then filled with an N-doped material to form the super junction structure. Super junction MOSFETs are used in a wide range of applications such as servers, telecommunications, computing, industrial power supply, UPS, solar inverters, lighting applications, and consumer electronics, which require high power density, system efficiency, and reliability. They have extremely fast switching characteristics and low switching loss, enabling higher power conversion efficiency. The Global Super Junction MOSFET market is categorized into five application segments: - Laptop Adapters - Desktop PCs - Flat TVs - Lighting supply - Server Power Supplies Key Vendors - Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. - Infineon Technologies AG - STMicroelectronics NV - Toshiba Corp. - Vishay Intertechnology Inc. Other Prominent Vendors - Alpha & Omega Semiconductor Ltd. - Fuji Electric Co. Ltd. - International Rectifier - NXP Semiconductors NV - ON Semiconductor - Rohm Co. Ltd. Key Market Drivers/Challenges/Trends - Increasing Demand for Energy-efficient Electronic Products. - Low Demand Due to Global Economic Slowdown. - Growing Need for Miniaturization of Semiconductor Devices.
