Abstract
Digital radio is the general term for audio services that are broadcasted in a
digital format on either a satellite platform, or terrestrial platform, such
as Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). Worldwide, the market for digital radio
receivers will grow from 5 million units in 2005, to almost 25 million unit
shipments in 2010. It is expected that this growth will come from increased
awareness of HD Radio and the continued popularity of satellite radio in the
US. In other markets, most notably in the UK, terrestrial DAB will drive
digital radio shipments. The launch of Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB)
services in Japan and Korea, along with increased promotional activity in
Singapore, Australia and Taiwan, will drive digital radio shipments in Asia.
In-Stat' s latest report, More Consumers to Tune into Digital Radio in 2007,
contains five-year unit shipment, ASP, and revenue forecasts for digital
terrestrial and digital satellite radios (including DMB receivers that are not
integrated into mobile phones). The forecasts are provided for the Americas,
Europe, and Asia. A US satellite radio subscriber forecast, as well as primary
research data from a recent survey of US consumers, is also included.
