SCOPE OF REPORT
The report is divided into two parts: embedded software and embedded hardware.
For each segment of the hardware and software market, we have provided:
- Definition and further segmentation
- Overall market
- Geographic data
- Revenue by end application
- Business models
- Growth forecast and market trends
- Key players and market share
- The report also includes a high-level discussion on the embedded hardware
design.
The report does not consider chips developed for a specialized market such as
set-top boxes. It also excludes IP and EDA tools used for the development of
hardware.
This report will provide:
- Understanding of the embedded devices architecture and the roles played by
different hardware components.
- Understanding of the market segment and factors driving its growth.
- Knowledge of business models used in different market segments.
- Market potential for each segment and projection for the next 5 years.
METHODOLOGY
Market data and information for this report was conducted through numerous
channels. We looked at the publically available information from various
companies and the industry association data. These include SEC filings by
public companies, presentations in various conferences, and articles and
reports published by company insiders.
We also conducted interviews with company executives and other industry
experts to gather the key data and to understand their market insights. The
companies selected for this purposes fell into several categories, including
hardware suppliers, device manufacturers, and engineering services companies.
In addition, several other sources were used, including exhaustive Internet
searches, blogs, and articles written by industry journalists. Editors and
executives provided individual perspectives on the market. We also reviewed
industry journals and publications, white papers, and technical notes.
Internal sources included earlier reports from BCC on embedded systems
technology.
The projections for future growth were based on several factors. We developed
a mathematical model to forecast growth based on the following:
- Annual revenue of the overall industry throughout the period of last 5
years; we used this data to determine trends and correlation between the
overall industry and each segment.
- External factors such as the economy and growth projections by key
institutions, including the IMF.
- Key drivers for each the market segment, such as the emergence of digital
TV and consumer devices.
- Geographical trends impacting the technology, such as the rise of Asia as
a major consumer base.
- New innovations and threats incurred to the existing technology.
