Worldwide PMP/MP3 Player Shipments Plateau as Market Succumbs to Competition From Emerging Connected Device Segments
In-Stat/MDR, Aug 2009
Not so long ago, the PMP/MP3 player market was one of the fastest-growing segments in the portable consumer electronic (CE) industry, with Apple as the runaway leader with its successful iPod lineup. Today, the market is facing a serious slowdown as Apple shifts its focus to its illustrious iPhone, and as iPhone-like competitors pop up.
PMP/MP3 player shipments will reach 225 million worldwide by the end of 2009, up only 5% from 2008. Manufacturers are scrambling to encourage sales by adding enhanced features, like touchscreens and support for Wi-Fi.
Nevertheless, the PMP/MP3 player market has reached saturation due to waning consumer demand, a poor economic environment, and competition from emerging Internet-connected CE segments, such as audio/video-capable smartphones and mobile Internet devices (MIDs).
This latest research on the global PMP/MP3 player market includes forecasts for unit shipments and revenues out to 2013. Regional splits for unit shipments, as well as expectations for growth in Wi-Fi enabled PMPs, are included. New to this research is a bill of materials analysis and the total silicon revenue opportunity for suppliers to the global PMP market.
