Global Networked Media Clients & Servers 2009 Update: Clients Growing but Struggling
In-Stat/MDR, Nov 2008, Pages: 64
Home networking with consumer electronics (CE) devices always connected still hasn't reached the mainstream. More consumers are using a home network for more than just Internet sharing, but most still just do that. The most common device to be connected that is not a PC or PC peripheral is a networked game console. Shipments of Media Center-capable PCs are rising, but that does not mean consumers are buying and connecting network-capable CE devices to their home networks. This report covers a number of reasons for the lack of adoption.
Worldwide forecasts through 2012 for each market segment are provided, from consumer PCs to non-PC network-enabled stationary media devices. Each forecast provides network-enabled units and segmentations for wired only and wireless. Included is the worldwide installed base of home networks and those networks with PC and CE devices. Details are provided for PCs with a Media Center-enabled OS, basic media servers, PCs with a Media Center-enabled OS plus TV tuner, non-PC devices w/embedded media servers (e.g., set-top boxes, digital media adapters/digital media receivers, network storage, etc.), and total media server-capable devices. Consumer survey results related to digital home multimedia networking are also included.
