According to Ritek recordable DVD discs are in short supply. Both Ritek and CMC Magnetics are planning to transfer part of their CD-R discs production lines to recordable DVD disc manufacturing:
Ritek said that it has already increased recordable DVD disc shipments to 10 million units per month in the first quarter, up from eight million units near the end of last year, but it still cannot meet the strong demand from its clients, according to the Economic Daily News. |
The company told DigiTimes that its CD-R production lines are already running at full capacity just to produce CD-R discs alone. To shift part of its CD-R disc production to recordable DVD discs, the company will have to increase shifts to boost volume for both products.
According to the article Ritek projects to ship over 200 million recordable DVD discs this year, for a 50% global market share.
