VCD players

10 percent dip in prices this year
Mainland makers say prices are likely to plunge in the coming months. The consensus in Hong Kong is much the same. Wai Kai Electronics and SMC Multi-media forecast a dip of more than 10 percent. Devaluations in many Southeast Asian countries, says Ho of SMC Multi-media, are the major cause of the pricing squeeze.

Yanion cut its prices by 25 percent between 1997 and 1998 because of competition from mainland China and Taiwan. The firm's SVCD models may, however, have a more stable pricing, Ho said.

Similarly, Tung Da Audio dropped its VCD player pricing from $90 to an average of $65 in 1998. This year might see that pressure abate, says the firm's Yung.
