Company Business Promoted by Bharat Forge, the flagship of the Kalyani House of Industries, Sharp was initially incorporated as Kalyani Telecommunications and Electronics Private Ltd in 1985. In 1986, it came to be known as Kalyani Sharp and was engaged in manufacturing of TVs, VCRs, VCPs, and audio products which were sold under the brand name – Optonica. The company entered into a joint venture with Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer, Sharp Corporation, in 1989. In 1995, Sharp Corporation acquired a majority stake in the company and all products started selling with the brand name, Sharp. In India, Sharp has manufacturing facilities at Koregaon-Bhima, near Pune. The company is primarily engaged in manufacturing of CRT TVs, LCD TVs and spares. Earlier it was also engaged in trading of microwave ovens, refrigerators, colour televisions, LCD TVs, air conditioners and audio systems. However, as part of its new business strategy it has shifted its focus only on its core television manufacturing capabilities. All its products are sold through Sharp Business Systems (India) Limited - a 100% subsidiary of Sharp Corporation, which handles the after sales services.

Industry Overview The Indian television market is the third largest in the world, and with spending on consumer electronics devices projected to grow at an overall CAGR of 12% through 2015, the market offers good possibilities. The television market can be broadly divided into two segments – the conventional CRT TVs and flat panel display (FPD) TVs which comprise LCDs, LEDs, and the Plasma TVs. At present, the domestic market is witnessing a shift from conventional CRT TVs towards newer technologies like LCD and LED TVs and more high-end offerings like 3D and Smart TVs, in line with global trends. DisplaySearch (a leading display market research firm) expects that the LCD market would account for over 88.5% of the world TV market by the end of 2012 and will rise above 90% by 2013. In India, sales of CRT TVs in 2011 fell to 1,200 crore units compared to 1,800 crore units in the previous year (as per the company’s annual report - FY12). This is the lowest sales volume that the country has seen in this segment since 2006. However, despite declining sales, India still accounts for 40% of the global demand for CRT TVs (as per the TV Veopar Journal - April 2012 issue). It is perceived that there would be some demand growth from the semi- urban and rural areas where CRT TVs still enjoy popularity on account of their lower prices within the price band of INR 5,000-13,600. The size of the Indian FPD market was around 45 lakh units in 2011, registering a 50% growth over previous year. While India has been a late bloomer in this market segment, the trend of last one year indicates there is enough potential in this segment. In the CRT segment, LG is the fore-runner and close to 77.5% of the market is held by LG, Videocon, Samsung, and Onida together, while in the FPD segment, Samsung, LG, and Sony occupy around 61% market share. CRT TV Sales FPD TV Sales Units Sold in 2012 Units Sold in 2012 1,735,000 350,000 1,000,000 980,000 250,000 270,000 785,000 180,000 150,000 LG Videocon Samsung Onida Others Samsung LG Sony Others Source: TV Veopar Journal (April 2012 issue) The general market conditions continue to remain challenging on account of high inflation, oil prices, and weakening of the rupee. However, the Indian customers are increasingly opting for branded products and this allows the market players to secure competitive advantage through improving their brand recognition.
