Riding on computer trend, makers cultivate new markets for CD-Rs

Article Abstract:

The global demand for recordable CDs (CD-Rs) is projected to jump by 51% to 950 million units in 1999. The market for CD-Rs soared by 157% and 210% to 203 million and 630 million in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Meanwhile, the worldwide market for rewritable CDs is expected to expand to 40 million discs in 1999, sharply up from 2 million units in 1997 and 11 million in 1998. As a result, makers of disk drives are developing plural- use drives that can accomodate writing and erasing of rewritable CDs, writing of CD-Rs, readout from CD-ROM discs.
