Abstract
Market Research From The Industry Experts
Sales of semiconductors for mobile applications slowed dramatically at the end
of 2008 but are poised for rebound following a difficult 1Q09. Although we
expect improving conditions for the remainder of the year, handset shipments
are likely to be down about 7.5% for 2009. As a result, cellular baseband
shipments will dip before returning to a growth trend. Buoyed by rising
smartphone shipments and connectivity attach rates, sales of application
processors, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi chips will continue to grow through 2009
and beyond. Ultimately, however, integrated baseband processors will slow and
even reverse the growth in these hot product categories.
"Mobile and Wireless Semiconductor Market Forecast 2008 - 2013" provides the
detailed information needed to sort out the complexities of this market. The
report provides five-year unit, revenue, and price forecasts for all major
categories of mobile semiconductors and IP, many with breakdowns by end
application. These forecasts are based on our market-share tracking, growth in
end markets, and our deep understanding of technology trends in these product
areas.
Product categories covered in the report include cellular baseband processors,
application processors, mobile multimedia processors, handheld Bluetooth
chips, GPS chips, mobile Wi-Fi chips, and combo connectivity chips. Also
covered are CPU IP, DSP IP, and GPU IP cores. This new report will enable
companies to assess the competitive landscape of key product markets and plan
their investments accordingly.
The report is available in either a single-user or a corporate-license
edition. The single-user license includes a brief printed document with
summary analysis of the data and is packaged with a non-printing PDF that
provides market-forecast tables for ten product categories. The corporate
license includes the printed summary as well as a PDF that permits additional
copies to be printed. For easier data reuse, the corporate-license edition is
packaged with a Microsoft Excel workbook containing all of the data.
