MP3 market looks bright for Apple

MP3 market looks bright for Apple 04/13/2005 11:03 AM
Apple Computer will continue to dominate the MP3 player market, which is projected to grow from an installed base of 16.2 million last year to 56.1 million by 2010. JupiterResearch, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation, today reported that U.S. shipments of MP3 players will grow 35% to 18.2 million in 2005 and maintain a compound annual growth rate of over 10% through 2010, reaching an installed base of 56.1 million by then, up from 16.2 million in 2004. MP3 players will reach critical mass this year, fueling demand for digital music services and stores. "Apple shows no signs of losing momentum," said Michael Gartenberg, VP and Research Director at JupiterResearch. "The iPod is a consumer phenomenon. Apple dominates this sector and will dominate portable MP3 player growth over the medium term," added Gartenberg. Mostly due to the iPod's success, JupiterResearch has raised its near-term forecast, but projects that flash-based player shipments will surpass those of hard-drive models in 2007. The forecast appears in the newly published report, "U.S. Portable Music Device Forecast, 2005-2010."

Apple to bite into gaming market?

Apple to bite into gaming market? 04/08/2005 12:00 PM
Neilsen Entertainment on Thursday revealed results of a study concluding that men spend more money on video games than on music. According to Neilsen spending on games has become the second ranked purchased category for males behind DVDs and in front of CDs, MP3 and music purchases. As we can see in the figures from Nintendo and Sony for the first few days of sales of the companies new handheld systems, game and console sales are going well. Sony managed to snag 500,000 customers of its PlayStation Portable (PSP) within the first two days of its North American release, generating over $150 million at retailers. The company boasted that what makes the $150 million mark "all the more spectacular," is that "PSP sales were achieved during a traditionally slower non-holiday season launch, and during a period when many retailers were closed for Easter." The launch of PSP was everything the company had hoped for, according to Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Kaz Hirai. "In only two weeks, PSP is having an immediate impact across the entire industry as consumers are clearly voting it the product of the year in 2005." Nintendo sold nearly 87,000 units of the Nintendo DS in the first two days alone in the UK. Several retailers in the UK opened at midnight so DS fans could be the first to purchase the device. As of launch time in the UK of the DS, Nintendo sold more than 3 million units worldwide. At the end of March, the company announced that sales in the UK surpassed 500,000 since the March 11 release. "The launch of Nintendo DS in the UK has been an unprecedented success; breaking all expected sales figures and even exceeding our expectations. Nintendo fans, new and old, have embraced the Nintendo DS and have left no doubt that it is the new must have handheld console," Nintendo UK General Manager David Yarnton said. "Nintendo set out to create a new way of hand-held gaming, offering an innovative and enjoyable experience and with the new Nintendo DS, and we have certainly accomplished this." The success of the Nintendo DS has even helped Nintendo prepare for the launch of its upcoming Nintendo World Store set to open in New York City this spring. The store will allow visitors to try out new and unreleased games for Nintendo DS, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance SP at sampling bars and interactive stations. The two-story mega-complex will also be the new home of Pokémon Center and will host a myriad of Nintendo merchandise, accessories, DVDs and Pokémon trading cards. With the gaming market so strong and continually growing, why doesn't Apple break into the burgeoning $35 billion annual global video game market? Well, maybe it plans to. According to an anonymous report, MacRumors.com was told that Apple and ATI have been discussing either creating or purchasing a game development unit. Creating a games division could help attract more PC users to switch to the Macintosh platform. The website also noted that Apple appears serious about improving gaming performance on the Mac as recent reports have noted that Apple, ATI and NVidia are actively recruiting developers to improve OpenGL performance. Since game sales are above and beyond sales of CDs, digital music, and other music purchases, perhaps Apple would be wise to break into the increasingly popular (not to mention, incredibly profitable) gaming market... just in case it doesn't reach the forcasted 23.5 million iPod sales mark in 2006, or continue to have one million downloaded songs per day from the iTunes Music Store.

Apple gets aggressive in Korean MP3
market 02/01/2005 09:36 PM
Apple is reported to have raised the stakes in the Korean MP3 player market by announcing yesterday that it will lower the price of its iPod only in Korea. According to a report in the Joon Ang Daily, the discounts are only for Apple's hard-disk drive music players and exclude the iPod Shuffle.The report also claims local representatives asked the media to "keep quiet" about the price cuts, saying that headquarters feared opposition from other Asian countries. The lower prices of iPods give Apple a competitive edge in both flash-memory and hard-disk drive digital music player markets. At 125,400 won ($122), the 512-megabyte model of the iPod Shuffle is less than Reigncom's 256-MB model, which was only recently lowered from 187,000 won to 149,000 won. A 20-gigabyte iPod now costs 363,000 won, instead of 418,000 won. The iRiver hard-disk model has only 5 GB of memory for the same price. "It seems that Apple has chosen Korea as the battleground because they want to get their grips on the local market here before they deal with Korean MP3 makers abroad," said an official at Samsung Electronics in the news article. He said that Apple currently has less than 1 percent of the local MP3 market, which is why it seeks a larger share. The Joon Ang Daily reports that although domestic companies claim that they are not worried, they admit that Apple's presence is pressing them to lower costs as well. Reigncom lowered its hard-disk drive player prices last week. Meanwhile, they are looking at foreign markets, saying that the domestic market for MP3 players is already on the verge of saturation.

Apple leads in booming global MP3 market 06/22/2005 01:54 AM
Apple is the leader in worldwide MP3 sales with 30.2 percent of the combined HDD and Flash-based MP3 market -- a market which recorded a revenue increase of 200 per cent to reach approximately $4.5 billion in 2004. In-Stat released a report today that cited falling prices, the availability of legitimate subscription and pay-per-download online music sites, smaller hard disk drives and increasing Flash memory capacities as reasons for the booming MP3 player market. "As competition heats up, vendors are striving to differentiate products by offering a wide range of price points, memory capacities and features," said Stephanie Guza, In-Stat analyst. "As a result, we are seeing increased segmentation. For example, the hard disk drive (HDD) digital audio player segment can be subdivided into two categories: the 1-inch or smaller segment and the 1.8-inch segment." In-Stat also says that survey data shows that the percentage of U.S. respondents owning a digital audio player has increased from 16% in 2001 to 25% in 2005.

Apple Computer has moved ahead of Toshiba to take the 5th position in U.S. PC sales during the first quarter, according to preliminary statistics released by Gartner Inc. today. Gartner said despite disappointing results for most vendors in the U.S. market in the first quarter, Apple's PC shipments in the U.S. increased 45.1 percent in the first quarter. The growth of the iMac and PowerBook categories were key drivers for the company during what has always been a traditionally weak consumer quarter. Worldwide PC shipments increased 10.3 percent in the first quarter of 2005, according to Gartner. Worldwide PC shipments totaled 50.4 million units in the first quarter of 2005, up from 45.7 million in the same period last year. Dell's worldwide growth rate fell below 20 percent for the first time in ten quarters, pulled down by a weaker performance in the U.S. market. Despite this, Dell's growth rate of 13.7 percent remained higher than the worldwide average, and it extended its lead in the worldwide rankings. Gartner said final statistics will be available soon to clients of Gartner's PC Quarterly Statistics Worldwide by Region program.
