EL SEGUNDO, CA – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. held onto its lead in the global television market in the second quarter, thanks to its strength in LCD-TV shipments, according to iSuppli Corp.
The South Korean electronics giant managed a 12.4% market share in the overall television unit shipments, with fellow Korean firm LG Electronics coming in second with 11.4%, Philips in third with 7.1%, Sanyo in fourth with 6.3% and TCL taking the fifth rank with a 5.6% share, iSuppli says. China’s TCL, the one-time leader, continued to lose ground in the market as shipments slowed, following the end of the New Year’s shopping season.
The overall television market will expand at a CAGR of 4% between 2007 and 2011 for unit shipments, and 5% for revenue. iSuppli forecasts overall global television shipments will grow to 245.5 million units by 2011, up 15% from 2007 and up 22% from 2006.
It isn’t news that CRT-TV units, revenues and average selling prices will decline during the next five years because of a lack of consumer interest, waning OEM production and rising consumer demand for LCD-TVs and other flat-panel sets, iSuppli states.

What is news is that there are still regional markets for CRT TVs, the firm adds.
The Asia/Pacific region is leading the way with 37% of total CRT-TV shipments in the second quarter, following by China with 21% and Europe with 15%. India is becoming the largest market for CRT TVs in the Asia/Pacific region, as slimmer CRTs encourage consumers to buy, says iSuppli.

TAMPA, FL – Genesis Electronics Manufacturing Inc. announced the addition of another medical device customer to its base of electronics manufacturing clients.
A Genesis spokesperson declined to give financial or other specifics, citing a non-disclosure agreement. However, he said that on an annualized basis, the program would likely represent a 10% increase to incremental revenues. He further stated that Genesis is currently executing orders at the assembly level, and the company anticipates adding total box-build in November.
As an EMS supplier, Genesis attained ISO: 13485 certification in 2003. Since that time, the medical device market has become its fastest growing business segment, the company reported.
"Medical device customers account for about 28% of our manufacturing business," said president Scott Mauldin. "By year end we anticipate our medical customers will make up 30% of our manufacturing revenue.”
Genesis now has five medical customers for which it builds more than 100 different assemblies.
