CES to Feature Gadgets For Home Entertainment

December 29, 2005

The Wall Street Journal The already gargantuan show [CES] will be slightly larger than last year. Exhibits will cover 1.6 million square feet of space, up from 1.5 million, and products from 2,500 companies will be on display. During the Thursday to Sunday event, 130,000 people are expected to attend, similar to last year when expectations were for a similar sized audience but the final tally brought the crowd up to 145,000.

The broad interest is no surprise given the rapidly changing $123 billion consumer-electronics marketplace. By 2009, the accumulated sales of high-definition televisions in the U.S. could reach $65 billion, according to researchers at Parks Associates. The same year, the market for premium video-on-demand services, including downloads of movies and other content, will bring in $530 million, says Parks, and, by a year later, 13 million portable video players will have been sold.
