Abstract
This report looks at the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market, and
will not include the EPS replacement market. It includes forecasts in units
and dollars and detailed discussions of trends in average selling prices in
each of the forecast segments. The market figures presented in the following
sections will be based on the cost of EPS units to OEMs, not to the end users.
In addition, the cost of each EPS is assumed to decline over time. Price
declines will vary from wattage level to wattage level and between various
types of applications. The following sections of this report will present
forecasts in units, dollars and pricing trends. They will be broken down by
region, wattage, packaging, regulation, and by end-use application.
Each end-use application will be further broken down by sub-segment. The
sub-segments include Communications, Computers, Consumer and Portable Medical.
The Communications sub-segment includes mobile phones, cordless phones, modems
and professional two-way radios; the Computer sub-segment includes flat panel
monitors, portable handheld computers, LAN equipment, notebook computers,
portable barcode RFID readers, portable printers and Wi-Fi access points; the
Consumer sub-segment includes camcorders, digital cameras, gaming devices,
small flat panel TVs, portable media MP3/MP4 players, portable video (DVD)
players, power tools, professional video recorders and personal navigation
devices. Due to its small size, the medical segment will not be broken down by
application, and will be presented cumulatively. A detailed methodology used
in determining the forecast assumptions in this edition is presented in an
appendix at the end of this report.
