Market Share
Kodak film
1.
consumers owned a digital camera because it is now easier to use than a film camera, is cheaper, and allows images to be uploaded and shared online. But Kodaks digital camera sales may flatten due to high household penetration, the economic downturn, and increased competition. Kodak remains No. 3 in market share behind Canon and Sony. Kodak expects this SBU to continue to be a cash cow, with its new digital camera models generating mainly replacement sales.
2.
of digital picture frames that allowed consumers to upload, store, and view digital images. In 2008, Kodak expanded its line with more than 10 items ranging in price from $60 to $230. And in 2009, it introduced the $999 OLED (organic light-emitting diode) digital picture frame that features a high-resolution flat-panel display to present extremely sharp photo images. Global demand has exploded, and today Kodak is the market leaderclearly a star. By 2012, sales could approach 50 million units.
3.
Kodak ink-jet printers and cartridges to print digital photos at home. In 2008, the ink-jet printer market dramatically changed as consumers shifted from singlepurpose to multi-function machines designed to print photos, make copies, scan images, and send faxes. Today Kodak now offers only multifunction models. Moreover, Kodaks high-quality ink cartridges make photos at half the cost of Hewlett-Packards (HP) printers.
The result:
In two short years, Kodak has sold over 1 million printers. Consumers buy an average of eight ink cartridges a year. Because HP is the entrenched 300-pound gorilla in this market, the future of this question mark could evolve into a star if Kodak is able to double or triple unit sales. Or this SBU may turn into a dog because online printing and sharing have taken off and may soon reach $1 billion.
4. Kodak film. An $8 billion cash cow in 2003, Kodak film sales were the companys biggest single source of revenue. Now in a free fall because of digital cameras, Kodak film sales dropped to $3 billion in 2008, moving it from being a cash cow to a potential dog. Kodak stopped producing its Kodachrome slides in late 2009. Experts believe film sales will evaporate by 2012.
