Bluetooth saw continued success in 2007, with more than 800 million
Bluetooth-enabled devices shipping in the PC, PC peripheral, consumer
electronics (CE), communications, automotive, and industrial/medical
device segments. Over one billion devices are expected to ship in 2008,
and shipments are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 18.1% over the 2007–2012
forecast period.
New Bluetooth specifications are on the horizon. The Low-Energy
specification, expected to be adopted this year, will provide newfound
opportunities for Bluetooth silicon in medical and industrial devices.
Additionally, a High-Speed specification, to be based on either UWB or
Wi-Fi, is expected to make inroads in data- and media-intensive
applications, such as streaming video or music to or from a mobile phone.
This report contains five-year forecasts for the penetration of
Bluetooth into products within the PC, PC peripheral, communications,
CE, automotive, and industrial/medical segments. Additionally, five-year
forecasts are provided for Bluetooth silicon ASPs, as well as for
shipments and revenues of varying Bluetooth silicon types. In addition,
the report also contains responses on Bluetooth and wireless headsets
from three separate surveys: domestic phone and web surveys, and an
interational web survey of Japanese, Korean, German, French and British
consumers. Also included are profiles of major Bluetooth silicon
manufacturers.
