Digital media creation is driving the consumer electronics market, and arguably the entire semiconductor market as well. The infrastructure is in place for supplying consumer digital content, such as audio tracks, movies, TV programs, still images, and more. And so now the greatest demand is being seen for digital televisions and set-top boxes, Mp3 players, and digital cameras and camcorders. The near future will be an exciting time in consumer electronics, as standard formats emerge, and as consumers continue to be re-educated toward adoption of new technologies and features. Databeans estimates the consumer semiconductor market at nearly $58 billion this year. This market is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12 percent each year and should reach $100 billion by 2012. This would account for 23 percent of the entire semiconductor market in five years. Readers of this study will find regional forecasts including a separate forecast for China, Korea, and Other Asia. Consumption by application is presented for audio, video, imaging, toys and games, and appliances. Product forecasts are included for discretes, optoelectronics, sensors, analog, logic, memory, processors, controllers, and DSP. Market share is also included and supplier profiles are presented for the top 15 consumer semiconductor companies.
