DTV = $30 billion market by 2000

March 13, 1998, Nikkei English News TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. (Panasonic) said Thursday it is aiming for around 20% of the global digital television equipment market by 2000, when it is estimated to be worth around $30 billion.

The demand forecast includes things such as broadcast equipment, peripherals and television receivers. The company said that among the areas it is targeting are set top boxes and terminal receivers, broadcast equipment, peripherals and home network systems based on digital TV involving the convergence of computers and televisions. The forecast and comments came at a press briefing on trends in the digital TV area.

Interesting to note that the LGE/ZE coalition has a 25% market-share goal for STBs and DTV receivers in the US. Assuming that the US represents $20 billion of the $30 billion estimate, that's about $5 billion in revenue for LGE/ZE in 2000, provided they meet their target.

BTW, Every TV I watched in Tahoe and San Francisco last week was a Zenith. Good sign, I hope......
