TV demand goes up as Euro football games approach  2nd June 2008

Home electronics dealers in both Hanoi and HCM City are revving up television sales ahead of the broadcast of this summer's Euro Champions League football tournament. Demand for televisions was increasing, confirmed a number of Hanoi dealers, but retail prices were level or even down by 5-10 per cent from previous months. Tung Thanh, an electronics retailer on Hai Ba Trung Street said competition was brisk among high-end models selling from VND10mil (US$625) to VND150mil ($9,375). LCD and plasma-screen TVs in the VND10-50mil price range were holding about 80 per cent of market share, Thanh said, and sales of these models had doubled since Tet.

The Viet Nam Association of Electronics Manufacturers confirmed that prices for these products have been declining worldwide. The price differential between domestic and foreign-made products had also shrunk, the association said. Nguyen Minh Thu, the director of the Thien Hoa Electronics and Interior Centre in HCM City, confirmed that promotions were being offered to promote the sales of high-end LCD and plasma-screen TVs, with discounts of 15-50 per cent on models in the 30 - to 52-inch range.

Manufacturers wanted to see sales of these products jump within the course of a single week, said Thu, but the market was already close to saturated, with most of those who have wanted to buy having already bought. Still, the association was maintaining a rosy outlook, expecting the LCD television market through 2010 at an average of 150 per cent a year. Price was also expected to fall an average of 20 per cent during that period.
