Here Come UMDs: A Worldwide UMD and PC Forecast for 2008
In-Stat/MDR, May 2008, Pages: 17
With 2008 looking to be a year of contradiction, ultra mobile devices are forecast to grow nicely, but critical market inflection points aligning usage, technology, and business models have yet to be achieved. Desktop PC growth is expected to remain steady but the growth drivers for PCs, in general, are anticipated to transition to notebooks. This report helps companies look at the 2008 forecast for UMDs and PCs and understand the significant factors affecting product strategies and market growth.
Highlights from this report include:
-UMDs growth to be 72.6% in 2008, if hitting on all cylinders.
-Continued concern over infrastructure, business models, form factors, and user interfaces are affecting the user experience.
-Non-computer makers are making plays by entering the mobile Internet space. They even label their products UMDs.
-Notebook PCs are the new major growth engine in PCs. Growth of 15.4% anticipated in 2008.
-Desktop PC growth will be flat, at 0.1% growth, in 2008 but a steady contributor at 6.8% growth in 2010.
-Slowdown in the marketplace will delay the notebook/desktop crossover, with 2009–2010 now anticipated for notebook volumes to exceed desktop volumes.
