SUMMARY
Highlights
This report:
- Describes various home theater technologies including sound systems,
display systems, theater-in-a-box, and media storage and management
- Provides market forecasts through 2013 for products and services in the
global home theater industry
- Discusses market drivers and inhibitors and the size and growth of
identified entertainment technology categories
- Analyzes global consumer protection laws
- Outlines industry structure with company profiles, technological trends,
pricing, and R&D.
SCOPE of report
The scope of this study encompasses several identified categories of home
theater components and services for new home theater systems and retrofitted
home theater systems.
BCC analyzed the industry on a worldwide basis, both from a market and product
perspective and a technology perspective. Regulations in the U.S. and global
markets were also examined to identify product introduction and product safety
regulatory issues for stakeholders and potential stakeholders in this industry.
METHODOLOGY
BCC presents an analysis, across the entire home theater market based on
reported revenue dollars and units shipped as reported to the SEC and/or other
governmental agencies. We also analyze data gathered from various research
sources via the Internet including large databases such as the United States
Patent Office (USPTO) databases of U.S. Patents and Patent Applications,
Micropatent's searchable databases for U.S. and international patents and
other IP issues, and the searchable database available on the Internet from
the European Patent Office for World and U.S. patents and patent applications.
INFORMATION SOURCES
BCC interviewed primary sources from many different stakeholder companies in
the home theater industry, analyzed public documents, SEC filings, corporate
white papers and other technical documentation for several dozen U.S. and
international companies directly involved in manufacturing and distributing
utilizing entertainment technology.
Additionally, BCC analyzed 267 design and utility patents filed in the U.S.
and throughout the world on home theater related technology inventions.
