Abstract
This IDC study includes market forecast data and analysis on a worldwide basis
for connectivity in the mobile phone semiconductor market for 2007-2012. This
document provides detail on eight emerging technologies: Bluetooth, FM radio,
WiFi, GPS, WiMAX, mobile TV, UWB, and NFC. It provides an analysis on the
adoption of these technologies into mobile phones and identifies variations
between 2G/2.5G and 3G/3.5G penetration. Our forecast assumptions are outlined,
and their potential impact on the mobile phone semiconductor market is
discussed. A comparison of the current forecast to the prior forecast is also
noted.
"Connectivity is a primary driver in transforming mobile phones into a broader
class of mobile communication devices, and a variety of emerging connectivities
are gaining visibility and influence in the mobile phone semiconductor market.
Connectivity semiconductor revenues in mobile phones will increase from $2.1
billion in 2007 to $4.6 billion in 2012, almost 17% CAGR over this period." -
