Abstract The worldwide CRT market continues to grow despite the pressure from flat panel displays, which has resulted in declining prices for CRT‐based desktop color monitors for computers. The worldwide CRT market, led by color TV and desktop personal computer monitor applications, will grow from 264 million units valued at $23 billion in 1998 to 339 million units valued at $26 billion in 2004. The largest electronic display industry segment in terms of value continues to be the CRT market. The combination of declining prices and consumer demand for larger screen sizes will stimulate sales of color television sets in the 27‐inch diagonal sizes and above. The price/performance ratio of the CRT continues to be its main strength, while it is a major weakness for all of the challenging flat panel technologies, with the price component of the equation being the largest shortcoming.
