Description

This IDC study provides an analysis and forecast of the U.S. consumer network-embedded devices market. It includes segmentation for portable and home device form factors. The study has two central sections. The Situation Overview reviews current market trends and discusses recent developments in the market, including survey data from IDC's 2006 Consumer Panel Home Networking Survey and IDC's 2006 Consumer Markets: Audio Web Survey. The Future Outlook outlines IDC's assumptions about market trends during the forecast period and presents forecast data and analysis for the period from 2005 to 2010.

"Consumer adoption of networked audio devices has been relatively modest to date, even given that devices such as home networked audio receivers have been on the market since early in the decade. But adoption is expected to accelerate later in the forecast as wireless networking becomes more common on portable media players." ? Susan Kevorkian, program manager, Consumer Markets: Audio, and Jonathan Gaw, research manager, Consumer Markets: Home Networking
