Worldwide Consumer Device Semiconductor 2009-2013 Forecast: Recession Sets Back the Market

This publication has been discontinued on June 28, 2011.

Introduction

Abstract

This IDC study covers the consumer semiconductor market for 2005–2013, with forecast and analysis of the following semiconductor markets: digital TV (including digital CRT, LCD, plasma display, and rear projection TVs), set-top boxes, DVD players (including recorders and blue laser DVD), videogame systems (including consoles and portable systems), and portable media players (including flash- and HDD-based PMPs). The market for consumer device semiconductors reached $42.4 billion in 2008 and is expected to decline to $39.9 billion by 2013, despite recovering from the anticipated 17.4% decline in 2009 due to the current recession.

"DTVs remain a prime opportunity for semiconductor firms, as consumers adopt digital products and take advantage of new features," said Michael J. Palma, IDC senior analyst for Consumer Device Semiconductors. "The recession of 2009 will be the sharpest downturn for the consumer semiconductor market. The market is expected to stabilize in 2010, and growth is expected to return to this category of semiconductors by 2011," said Ajit Deosthali, IDC research manager for Consumer Device Semiconductors.
