Corning has announced that continued strength in worldwide LCD TV sales has led to an increase in the company's fourth-quarter glass substrate volume expectations, and an improved outlook on 2010 glass market growth.
In a company statement released on December 9, Corning vice chairman and CFO James B Flaws indicated that worldwide LCD TV sales increased 45% on year in October, the second-highest monthly growth rate of the year.
He pointed out that the October sales strength occurred in all major TV markets, with LCD TV unit sales up 28% in the US, 20% in Europe, 115% in China, and 73% in Japan.
"In the US, LCD TV sales remained strong throughout all of November, including the week of Black Friday," Flaws said.
"As a result, panel makers continue to run at high utilization rates in the fourth quarter and glass supply is very tight. We expect glass demand to remain this way through the remainder of the quarter. Therefore, we are raising our fourth-quarter volume estimates to flat to up slightly," Flaws said.
