Mini Report European video software markets

DVD spending is stablising as the decline in prices decelerates. The East European market is catching up with the West. The market for VHS cassettes has all but disappeared completely. Growth in the DVD retail market was maintained in 2006, volume sales in Europe increasing by 10 per cent from 663.5m units in 2005 to 728.3m. Once again, however, the rise in the number of units sold did not fully translate into growth in value as the average consumer price of a retail DVD sank by eight per cent year-on-year from around €14.00 in 2005 to about €12.90 in 2006.

Mini Report European TV homes get HD-ready

At end 2006, 12.8m households were equipped with HD-ready televisions-an average eight per cent penetration of TV homes. We expect the number of HD-ready households to grow to 94m at end 2011 (56 per cent of TV households). Of the current 12.8m HD-ready homes, we estimate that only 520,000 were already viewing HD-quality broadcasts at the end of 2006, mostly from pay TV (390,000). So about 12m households have an HDready set but are not viewing HD pictures.

Mini Report The cover-mount DVD phenomenon

Screen Digest analysis indicates that at least 130m free DVDs were distributed by national newspapers in the UK in 2005 alone. By comparison 211m units were sold through mainstream retail channels in the UK. And the pace is accelerating. In first quarter 2006 DVD volume sales through official channels actually declined slightly over the previous year, to 54m units - almost exactly the same number of discs as were given away by the papers. Around 80 per cent of these are retained by recipients, the equivalent of more than five free DVDs per UK DVD household.
