UPnP and DLNA—Standardizing the Networked Home
In-Stat/MDR, July 2010, Pages: 41
UPnP and DLNA are the most significant frameworks for in-home media sharing among consumer devices. DLNA and UPnP have significant industry support with technology and consumer electronic giants, including Intel, Microsoft, and Sony among the leadership of both the UPnP Forum and the DLNA with hundreds of technology and content providers as members.
Through the inclusion of DLNA in Windows 7, In-Stat expects significant growth in the UPnP and DLNA market, with more than 1 billion units of DLNA-certified devices shipping annually by 2014. DLNA will see its largest volume in handsets, PCs, and digital televisions, based on the large volume of those device types annually shipped.
This report includes forecasts through 2014 of UPnP and DLNA devices by device type. Forecasted segments include: PVRs, STBs, DVD players and recorders, Blu-ray players/recorders, games consoles, digital media players, digital TVs, photo frames, cameras, storage, PCs, handsets, routers, and residential gateways.

DLNA Device Shipments to Rise to Over One Billion Units with Digital Photo Frames the Fastest Growing DLNA-Enabled Device Type
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) and UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) are key standards to enable consumer electronic devices to connect seamlessly across vendors for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. Despite current low consumer awareness, shipments of DLNA-enabled devices will surpass a billion units by 2014, up from several hundred million in 2009, reports In-Stat. Blu-Ray Players/Recorders will ship over 85 million DLNA-enabled in 2014. The fastest growth is expected in the photo frames category. While less than 1 million units shipped in 2009, In-Stat expects over 33 million DLNA-enabled digital photo frames to ship in 2014.
“Including DLNA in Windows 7 is a key market driver,” says Norm Bogen, In-Stat analyst. “However, adoption of UPnP and DLNA is broader than just PCs. Handsets and digital televisions join PCs as the product segments that will see significant increases in total annual DLNA shipments over the next 5 years.”
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Handsets, PCs, and digital televisions will account for 74% of the DLNA market.
- Devices that act as “media servers”, including PCs, storage, routers, and gateways, are the largest category of UPnP device shipments.
- Consumer awareness of DLNA is low. Only 6% of In-Stat survey respondents were very or somewhat familiar with “DLNA”.
Recent In-Stat research, UPnP and DLNA—Standardizing the Networked Home (#IN1004647RC), covers the worldwide market for UPnP and DLNA. It includes:
