One of the fastest-growing components employed in systems, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), with worldwide unit shipments estimated at 1.5 billion units in 2004, will grow to approximately 2.8 billion units by the end of 2009, reports In-Stat. DSPs are present in all market segments, such as communications, computer and electronic data processing (EDP), transportation, consumer, industrial, and military-aerospace.
The market for DSP chips is dominated today by the communications and consumer segments, said Max Baron, In-Stat analyst. However, by 2009, the industrial and mil-aero segments will grab market share from the current dominant segments.
A recent report by In-Stat found that the communications segment is expected to represent 61% of the market in 2009, losing approximately 5 percentage points, compared with 2004. The industrial and mil-aero segments will increase purchases as part of updating and extending the capabilities of their equipment. They will pay higher prices however due to their demands of higher performance and lower purchasing power, increasing their market share by 6 percentage points to a combined 20% of the total market in 2009.
Floating point DSPs are expected to lead the revenue increase over the next five years, growing from US$1.0 billion in 2004 to approximately US$2.2 billion by 2009. |
