Motorola and Nortel hold the early lead in the two-way cable modem marketplace Date: Tuesday, March 9, 1999 Source: PR Newswire WASHINGTON, March 8 /PRNewswire/ via NewsEdge Corporation -- Motorola and Nortel hold the early lead in the two-way cable modem marketplace, together accounting for almost 80% of shipments in North America. However, there was significant variance in market share for other regional markets. In Asia, for example, market share of two-way cable modem shipments was much more evenly distributed, with COM21, Terayon, and Phasecom gaining strong footholds. World market shares for the top vendors were: Motorola: 42% Nortel: 29% COM21: 8% Terayon: 7% World shipments of two-way cable modems reached 955,000 in 1998. Of these, over half were shipped to customers in the United States. Canada represented just less than 20% of the market, with The Netherlands and Japan also representing significant markets. "We project annual two-way cable modem shipments to accelerate sharply in the next several years," stated Robert Jones, executive vice president of The Strategis Group. "In 1998, cable modems were primarily a North American-based story. While North America will continue to hold a leading position, shipments to The Netherlands and Japan will grow rapidly. In addition, Germany, Argentina, and China will become new market opportunities." The Strategis Group estimates that annual shipments will exceed six million units by the year 2001. These findings are presented in The Strategis Group's newest product, dataBank:(TM) World Two-Way Cable Modem Manufacturers, Operators, and Shipments.
