全球Wi-Fi晶片組市場

Abstract

In 2006, approximately 213 million Wi-Fi chipsets shipped, representing a 32% growth rate over 2005 Wi-Fi chipset shipments.

• Mobile PCs (37% of total Wi-Fi chipset shipments)
• Home/SOHO Wireless Routers, Gateways, APs (18%)
• Portable CE (17%)
• External Clients (12%)
• Stationary CE (10%)

Although dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi handsets represented only 3% of total shipments for 2006, In-Stat believes that this category will be the break-out market segment in 2007, and by 2009, will account for 20% of the total market. In-Stat believes that during the forecast period from 2007 through 2011, portable connectivity applications will drive Wi-Fi chipsets, with shipments growing because of the large growth of the mobile PC segment, the portable CE segment, and the dual-mode handset segment.

The dominant technology in 2006 was 802.11g, although 802.11a/g made a surge with Intel' s inclusion of an 802.11a/g solution within its Centrino Duo release in early 2006. Although Intel included an optional Draft n solution as part of its Centrino Duo and Pro release in 2Q07, In-Stat believes that 802.11g will continue to dominate the Wi-Fi chipset market in 2007 and 2008, with 802.11n not reigning supreme until 2009.
