...Numerous semiconductor suppliers are vying for a place in ADSL chipsets, which is expected to have compound annual growth of 67% through 2004, while cable-modem chipsets are expected to show a 58% CAGR during that same period, IDC estimates. France's Alcatel controlled 31% of the ADSL-chipset market in 1999, according to Forward Concepts. Other competitors include Analog Devices, with 21%; GlobeSpan, 17%; STMicroelectronics, 15%; Lucent Technologies' Microelectronics Group, 13%; and Texas Instruments, 2%.
With the market just beginning to take shape, chipset providers are likely to continue to battle for dominance, and Forward Concepts believes there will be significant changes in market leadership by the end of this year. For example, TI is expected to boost its market share to the double-digit range, Strauss said.
