At the beginning of this month we reported about the dropping of the prices of CD-RW drives due to oversupply. This was mainly for 24x and 32x drives.
Now DigiTimes reports again about a dropping of price for 16x DVD-ROM retails.
 Per-unit retail prices of 16x DVD-ROM drives in Taiwan have fallen below US$35, a level that some optical-storage drive makers said has severely crunched their margins. Many blamed weak demand in the past quarter, which caused distributors to dump inventory into the market and depressed prices. Prices are projected to drop to US$30 in the short run if demand fails to improve, drive makers said. |
Wonder who will close their business first
