Kolkata, Nov. 10 Sony India Ltd is eyeing 30 per growth in laptop business in 2010-11, according to its Head, IT, SE & PS Sales and Marketing Department, Mr Sachin Thapar.

Having registered a nearly flat growth rate last year, the laptop industry was expected to grow at 12-15 per cent in 2009-10, he said.

The projected growthwould be driven by the “mass laptop segment” of below Rs 45,000 range.

He was speaking to media persons here on Tuesday while launching the new range of laptop Vaio X in the eastern region.

“The lower price segment may contribute nearly 70 per cent to our total notebook segment soon, up from about 60 per cent now,” he said. The company was eyeing 20 per cent share of the laptop market in value terms by 2010-11. The company targets a share of nearly two lakh lakhs of the total 9 lakhs to be sold.
