Cancelled Blu-Ray recorder production leads to flood of orders for Panasonic after rivals exit market — last supplier standing apologizes for delays as firm inundated with orders

Panasonic is facing a surge in orders for its Blu-ray recorder system in Japan after competitors exited the market. As the last supplier standing, Panasonic is struggling to meet demand and has issued an apology for delays. The firm is working to strengthen its production system to fulfill orders promptly. With Sony and LG no longer in the Blu-ray market, Panasonic has a unique advantage due to its vertical integration and may benefit from the increased demand. U.S. consumers can still find Blu-ray devices like the Buffalo MediaStation 6X Portable Type-C USB 3.2 Blu-ray Drive on Amazon.
