Overview
Royal Philips Electronics sheds light on an array of consumer healthcare, lighting, and lifestyle offerings. It makes home electronics, including TVs, DVD players, and digital cameras. But it also produces light bulbs (#1 worldwide), electric shavers and toothbrushes, and other personal care appliances, as well as a slew of medical equipment for disease diagnosis, treatment, and management. Philips has been dumping noncore businesses -- such as its stakes in TSMC, LG Display, and music giant PolyGram -- while acquiring and forming JVs in its fast-growing businesses: healthcare, energy-efficient lighting, and lifestyle products. The company's presence in developing markets generates about one-third of its sales.
