CE Vendor Quarterly Analysis Apple (AAPL) Q1 2013

Eric Smith — Tue, 14 May 2013 23:00:00 GMT

Apple posted quarterly revenue of $43.6 billion and quarterly net profit of $9.5 billion. Net profit fell on an annual basis as a lower margin product mix weighs on Apple. Mac Desktop, Mac Portable, iPod, and Apple TV accounted for 18% of the revenue this quarter. Mac Desktops showed some recovery after a tough Q4 2012, but this momentum will be short-lived as the weak PC market is based on a fundamental shift in how consumers perform their everyday computing needs. This report primarily focuses on three of Apple's reporting segments: iPod, Mac (including Desktops and Portables), and Accessories (including Apple TV).

PlayStation 4: Reigniting the Console War

Jia Wu — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT

On February 20th, Sony announced its new TV game console platform PlayStation4 (PS4) in New York. On the heels of Nintendo's launch of Wii U in November 2012, Sony's unveiling of its new generation console extends the rivalry between the two companies into a new era. Now that Sony's console plan has become clearer, the pressure has shifted to Microsoft to make any meaningful moves. Given the video game industry had already peaked in 2008, it is now time to wonder - will the new generation game console rejuvenate the industry or will it be vain effort in the context of the gaming experience paradigm shift?

CE Vendor Quarterly Analysis Sony: Q4 2012

Eric Smith — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT

As Sony continues down the path of restructuring, total revenue climbed year-on-year thanks to the full consolidation of Sony Mobile, which has found early success in revamping its smartphone line-up. Sony's CE device segments fared worse, with revenues falling annually for FPTVs, game systems, digital compact cameras, and PCs. Sony's traditional strengths are under siege and it is incumbent upon Sony to demonstrate how it will defend its position in an ever-more crowded and less profitable market. This report analyzes four of Sony's reporting segments: Imaging Products & Solutions (e.g., digital cameras, video cameras), Game, Mobile Products & Communications (e.g., PCs), and Home Entertainment & Sound (e.g., Televisions, Blu-ray Disc Players, Audio Systems, Memory-based Portable Audio Devices).

Global Ultra High-Definition TV Forecast by Screen Size

Jia Wu — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Ultra High Definition (UHD) Television is one of the next big hopes for the television industry. Having established (regular) HDTV as the norm in many international markets, some ecosystem players (notably TV manufacturers) are keen to drive renewed revenue growth by improving video quality still further. Major TV manufacturers, such as LG and Sony, have unveiled their UHDTVs this year. However, their luxury price tags and a lack of UHD-originated content are confining these products to the households of the extremely wealthy. In the next few years Strategy Analytics expects the TV manufacturing industry will work hard to lift these barriers and make UHDTV a real compelling mass market product. Our model suggests that global Ultra High-definition (UHD) TV sales will surpass the 1-million-unit mark in 2015. This report forecasts global Ultra High-definition TV sales by region and by screen size from 2012 to 2022. The report also includes forecasts for UHDTV active intalled base, household penetration and retail market value.

Blu-ray Disc Player Forecast by Country

Jia Wu — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMT

The global Blu-ray Disc (BD) Player market is projected to grow 19% in 2012 as consumers continue to migrate from DVD to Blu-ray. The increasing availability of high definition TVs and video content and the lack of sufficient Internet bandwidth in some regions are driving the growth of BD Player. While consumer adoption of BD Player will rise, the retail market value is expected to decline from US $5.4bn in 2011 to US $5bn by 2017 (-1% CAGR). Meanwhile, the continuing decline in packaged media sales, the reduced importance on content ownership and the increased availability and convenience of streaming services continue to pose challenges in the Blu-ray Disc Player market. This report provides unit sales, market value, installed base, household penetration and average price by six regions: North America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Central and Latin America and Africa and the Middle East.

Kantideep Thota — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:00:00 GMT

Apple had its best ever second quarter, posting quarterly revenue of $35.0 billion and quarterly net profit of $8.8 billion. In this report, we focus on four of Apple's reporting segments: iPod, Mac Desktop and Mac Portable, and Other Hardware (Apple TV). Mac Desktop, Mac Portable, iPod and Apple TV accounted for 19% of the revenue in this quarter. Speculations surrounding the arrival of new products led to lower than expected Mac sales in the second quarter. Sales of iPods continue to decline both in terms of volume (-10% y-o-y) and value (-20 y-o-y), suggesting consumers are gravitating towards less expensive iPods. Looking forward, Apple has drawn the battle lines with Ultrabook manufacturers such as HP, Dell, Acer and Sony by lowering the price of MacBook Air and launching OS X Mountain Lion.

Embedded Wireless CE Devices Global Market Forecast

Jia Wu — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:00:00 GMT

This market forecast is one of a series of forecasts and is a segmentation of our main Connected CE Devices forecasts last produced in July 2012. It covers the consumer electronics (CE) devices as potential beneficiaries of 3G and 4G wireless service access. This report builds on Strategy Analytics' Connected CE Devices forecast models to provide demand and adoption forecasts for Embedded Wireless Consumer Electronics devices globally through 2016. The report models demand for 16 3G- and 4G-enabled consumer device segments, including tablets, notebooks, ultrabooks, digital cameras, handheld and fixed games consoles, e-books, portable media players, set-top boxes and blu-ray players. It includes technology segmentation forecasts (CDMA, EDGE/WCDMA, HSPA+, and LTE) for each device category. While the vast majority of 3G and 4G wireless embedded devices will be portable, we have included a number of fixed CE devices which we believe could potentially gain value from some 3G and 4G connectivity to control the system remotely, or to facilitate converged services. In many cases, this value is likely to be limited. This forecast is an update of the same report published in March 2012 labelled Embedded Wireless (3G/4G) CE Devices Global Market Forecast. For the purposes of this report, WWAN implies a Wireless Wide Area Network using mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies such as 3G and 4G. This differs from a sister report which covers the same product categories, but provides segmentation by WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network or Wi-Fi, which is the standard on which we forecast.
