A/V Makers Bank on New Markets to Sustain Growth

摘要

For many Japanese manufacturers, 2011 is a year when they will reinforce efforts to sell their products in emerging countries on a full scale. Business conditions remain uncertain and growth rates have leveled off in advanced markets such as those in the United States and countries in Europe, while emerging markets have the potential to grow dramatically. According to a survey conducted by Toshiba Corp., an average growth rate of LCD TVs in advanced markets, such as North America, Europe, and Japan, between 2009 and 2012, is estimated at 2 percent, while emerging countries including Asia, Africa, Middle East and South Africa, is forecasted at 26 percent.
