Demand was too low to make a profit, and Panasonic announced that it would stop producing Blu-ray discs for engraving.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, January 28, Japanese electronics giant Panasonic said it will stop producing Blu-ray discs for burning in February. At that time, all such products sold to the public will be discontinued, and no follow-up products will be released. However, Panasonic said it would continue to produce Blu-ray recorders.

Panasonic said it found it difficult to continue to ensure profitability in the face of falling demand for Blu-ray discs.

CTOnews.com Inquiry learned that the company began selling Blu-ray discs for recording in 2006, but with the increase in hard drive capacity, ordinary people's demand for such products has greatly reduced.

In addition to Panasonic, Toshiba publicly announced in 2008 that it would stop the development of HD DVD players and video recorders, as well as the production of HD DVD-burning discs for computers and games. At present, Panasonic is the only mainstream manufacturer in the market to continue to produce Blu-ray disc recorders and players, while only Sony is left in Blu-ray disc manufacturers.
