Japan’s electronics giant, Sharp, expects a real boost to its LCD televisions sales from the Beijing 2008 Olympics. China is already the third largest market behind Japan and North America for Sharp’s LCD flat screens. As China is becoming more affluent, imported luxury goods and electronics will be getting more popular. Businesses have to make use of Beijing 2008 as a platform to showcase their products to China and to the world as well.

Sharp hopes to sell 10 million LCD televisions worldwide in the year to March 2009, up about 11 percent from sales of about 9.0 million expected in the current year, group president Mikio Katayama told a press briefing.
