DigiTimes is reporting that the demand for dual-layer DVD's will increase
next year. Thanks to incrased production and price cuts by Ritek and CMC, the demand for dual-layer DVDs is expected to go from 190
million units in 2007 up to 400 million units in 2008.
The worldwide demand for single-side dual-layer DVD+R/-R discs will
increase in 2008, according to sources at disc makers and research firms.
Since Ritek and CMC Magnetics expanded their 2.4x
dual-layer DVD production capacity starting in 2007, pricing has dropped from NT$70-80 (US$2.17-2.48) to NT$55-60, which has helped to
boost market demand, according the market sources.
The demand for dual-layer DVDs in 2007 is to be around 190 million units and is
expected to go up to 400 million units in 2008, according to disc makers citing a report from BOC.
