Optical digital disk technology will constitute a $13 billion a year market in the U.S. alone by 1990, according to estimates by Rothchild Consultants. The firm has identified over 30 firms worldwide developing disk drives and over 40 are working on optical media--the disks themselves. While the initial applications will be aimed at the commercial sector, all organizations with data storage requirements will be affected as the industry matures in the nineties.
