Summary: The markets for audio-focused home players and automotive players are being cannibalized by a variety of substitute products, from home and car devices that support video and compressed audio to portable MP3 players that attach to home and automotive systems via adapters and/or docking stations. Portable MP3 CD/MD Players ! The major consumer electronics (CE) companies that dominate the portable CD player category, such as Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sony, and Thomson/RCA, are also the key players in the MP3 CD player market. Automotive Players Automotive MP3 CD/MD Players This category includes automotive MP3 CD players and automotive MiniDisc players that support compressed audio formats and are sold through the aftermarket, dealer, and automotive OEM channels. Other drivers include competitive device price points (particularly in the portable flash category), growing consumer interest in portable MP3 players (particularly portable flash and portable jukebox devices), new paid online music services, and consumer marketing and education programs undertaken by MP3 player vendors and paid online music services. Home DVD players, DVRs that support MP3, and other devices that support video, audio, and other types of media are substitutes for audio-only home compressed audio players and will cannibalize home compressed audio players during and beyond the forecast period.
