Flat Panel TV

Market T

he invasion of digital broadcast accompanied with HD channels, the market for Flat Panel TV (FPT) has seen an increased resurgence in India. Added to it, is the fact that there is an increased affordability with the prices coming down for the LED TV. The consumers are switching on to LED TVs as there is an increased awareness about buying energy saving and eco-friendly products. The Flat Panel TV market is gaining an increased stable growth in the Indian market. The FPT market consists of LCD, LED, Plasma, 3D and Smart TVs. The presence of various multinational companies has increased the growth potential for the

market, as these players are focusing on building capabilities in the Indian market. There are also attractive financing schemes in the market, along with the competitive pricing in the online retail market which is helping allow greater reach for the LED TV. According to the research by Frost and Sullivan, the FPT market in India was valued at US $3.55 billion in 2012 and is likely to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 21.7 percent by 2015. The total market consumption for FPT in India in 2012 was 6.48 million units and the total domestic manufacturing was 1.93 Mn units for the same year. The consumers are on a replacement drive due

While CRTs sold about four million sets, the flat TV segment registered sales of six million. Till 2012, it was the other way round. In 2012, about six million Indians brought the older sets, while the off-take for flat TVs was about 4.5 million.

COVERSTORY to the availability of easy finance options, enhanced purchasing power, and obsolescence of existing technology (earlier CRT and LCD in the near future). These are driving rapid growth in the FPT market in India. Despite huge consumption demand, India sorely lags behind in FPT manufacturing and this is an area that needs immediate attention as the future growth trends portend a widening supply-demand gap if the current situation continues. The key vendors include Samsung, Sony, LG, Micromax, AOCm Toshiba, Videocon and Panasonic. Online portals such as Amazon, eBay, Homeshop18, Snapdeal, Filpkart and few others. Samsung has been the major player of LED televisions in India since FY’2011. However, Samsung has been losing its market dominance in the recent years with the other players gaining edge.

INR 7,000, while a 20-inch flat set could be purchased at INR 9,500 to INR 10,000. Even in the flat panel segment, India is stepping away from LCD versions to LED and ultra HD segments.

NETRACK Showcases ‘Intelligent’ Racks and Cabling Solutions at BICSI India 2015 Fortinet FortiAP-S series

Fortinet has announced enhancements to its cloud-based FortiCloud management system and a new line of cloud-managed wireless access points (APs), continuing the company’s strategic investments and momentum in the secure wireless networking market. Fortinet’s “FortiAP-S series” wireless LAN (WLAN) APs are the most secure cloud-managed enterprise Wi-Fi products on the market, featuring Fortinet’s cybersecurity technology running directly on the AP and the latest security updates from Fortinet’s industry-leading FortiGuard Labs Threat Intelligence team. Now organizations no longer need to sacrifice security when opting to manage their enterprise wireless LAN from the cloud. Distributed organizations face many challenges as they deploy and manage a wireless LAN solution for their customers and employees. Current enterprise WLAN solutions often require complex architectures to segment guest and internal networks, while demanding extra hardware like separate WLAN controllers and security appliances. While emerging cloud-managed Wi-Fi vendors have helped to reduce the complexity and management issues associated with deploying wireless networks, moving WLAN control into the cloud has introduced security challenges that have yet to be addressed until now. Fortinet’s new FortiAP-S series of wireless access points empower organizations to forego separate WLAN controllers without exposing the network to cyber-threats. The FortiAP-S series of wireless access points and FortiCloud wireless security enhancements are available now.
