High growth rate in the Japanese market for embedded DSP chips..... newsalert.com <<Industry analysts agree that Japan's consumer electronics industry is a principal driver of demand for embedded microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital signal processors (DSPs). "No country is as important as Japan in the global consumer electronics industry," said Tom Starnes, director and principal analyst of embedded microcomponents at Dataquest (San Jose, California). "Consumer products have become more electronic and digital, with products such as wireless phones, video games, cameras, and DVD giving rise to a 23 percent annual growth rate in the sales of embedded microcomponents." Will Strauss, industry analyst at Forward Concepts Co. (Phoenix, Arizona), points out that embedded DSP products are an important part of the overall market opportunity in Japan. "Japan consumed more than $500 million dollars worth of programmable DSP chips, and more than $1 billion in function-specific DSP chips, such as MPEG and AC-3 decoders, in 1997," said Strauss. "Fueled by digital consumer electronics, digital wireless, and higher-speed modems, the 1998 Japanese DSP chip market is projected to grow by 30 percent, and reach $2.2 billion in annual revenue by the year 2002.">>
