CD Recordable Media Market Decreased 13% From 2Q09 to 3Q09

According to the Santa Clara Consulting Group

CD recordable media technology revenue decreased from 2Q09, changing by -13% in 3Q09, to $173 million, according to the report CD Tracker from the Santa Clara Consulting Group.

CD writer revenue was very limited with DVD writers serving the same functionality at a comparable cost.
 
Global CD recordable disc sales were flat on a quarter-to-quarter basis. CD-R discs representing 1035.688 million units of this volume and 98% of the market. Average price was relatively flat during the quarter at $0.14. CD- RW media sales continued to be limited, representing 2% of total unit sales.   
 
Regionally, The Americas continued to lead the market, with 51% of media units, followed by Europe with 28%, other Asia/Pacific markets with 13%, and Japan with 8%.   
 
Disc manufacturers have been phasing out production of CD-R media in response to the decline of the format. Some production lines have been shifted to countries where production costs less, like Thailand and Vietnam, but the change in total optical-disc volume has not been significant. Overall, excess capacity exists in the market. Some of the equipment has been shifted to DVD media manufacturing, while other production lines are not in operation at all.
