Abstract
USB shipped in more than three billion devices in 2008, including the PC, PC
Peripheral, Consumer Electronics (CE), Communications, and Automotive
segments. By 2013, the number of wired USB-enabled devices shipped will exceed
four billion.
While high-speed USB shipments currently dominate, new 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB
products will hit the store shelves by the end of 2009. Initially, SuperSpeed
USB will be found in PCs and storage devices. However, soon SuperSpeed USB
will also be found in portable devices with increasing amounts of storage
capacity, including digital still cameras, digital camcorders, portable media
players, and high-end mobile phones. SuperSpeed will greatly speed the
downloading of data from these devices.
This report contains five-year annual forecasts for the penetration of all
types of wired USB, including low-/full-speed, high-speed, and SuperSpeed USB
into 46 separate applications. Five-year annual forecasts for average selling
prices for USB host controllers, peripheral controllers, and hub controllers
broken down by USB type are also provided, in addition to brief profiles of
major USB silicon and IP suppliers.
