New research from Databank is confirming other recent reports that following slow growth in 201, the global 3D market is set to take off.
Specifically, the analyst says that the 3D TV market will grow from 6.2 million units sold in 2010, a share of only 3%, to 33% million units by the end of 2012 and then to form nearly a third (31%) of unit shipments by 2014. This would represent 83 million 3D TV units.
Driving this growth, said Databank, would be ‘aggressive marketing strategies’ by leading 3D TV vendors, in particular Samsung, LG, Sony and Panasonic. Databank expects these four giants’ share of 3D to grow over 2011, releasing over 40 3D products including new launches. The analyst predicts that these four firms alone will be targeting nearly 7 million shipments.
In terms of most popular technologies, Databank expects LCD-based 3D TVs’ share will fall from 81% in 2010 to 28% by 2014. it also suggest that by this time, virtually all PDP TVs will incorporate 3D and that glasses free 3D technology will be increasing in share.
