(PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c14838) has announced the addition of Worldwide Electronic Entertainment: Packaged Goods Value and Network-Connected Households to their offering.

New formats for DVDs will jump start another round of video replacement by consumers. In North America, HD DVD will ship later this year, and will become the dominant new format. Blu-Ray equipment and discs will become popular in Asia, Europe and the ROW. By having HD DVD in North America, and Blu-Ray elsewhere, Hollywood will once again gain control of geographic distribution.

Rimage has a system that permits kiosks to securely "burn" DVD discs at the Point of Sale, and on-line "download and burn" services will provide new ways for consumers to get their hands on DVD movies, music videos, and non-traditional visual productions. By 2009, it is believed that nearly 55% of all TV households will be connected to Cable TV (analog or digital), Satellite Pay-TV services, Digital Terrestrial networks, or emerging Broadband TV services.

Sales of Hollywood movies on Standard DVDs will experience slowing growth, but the emergence of new formats and new "content" coming to DVD will drive the value of the total market forward. Worldwide value of all DVD discs will grow from about US$33 Billion during 2004, up to US$76.5 Billion during 2009, a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 18.3%.
