Abstract
This IDC study examines the digital video recorder (DVR) market, with a focus on developments in the United States and worldwide. Discussions of the different types of devices and adoption trends in the DVR market are presented.
This document presents forecasts for DVR-enabled digital cable, digital satellite, and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) digital set-top boxes (STBs), in addition to standalone and terrestrial DVRs and DVR/DVD combo devices. Forecasts are broken out by device category and geographic region (United States; Asia/Pacific [including Japan]; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa [EMEA]; and the rest of the world [ROW]). This document does not forecast PC-based DVR platforms, such as Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition PCs.
"IDC forecasts DVR shipments will reach more than 53 million units in 2011," says Greg Ireland, research manager in IDC' s Consumer Markets program. "With nearly 30 million units expected to ship in 2007, IDC forecasts the market will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 19.8% through the forecast period."
