Description

The last 12 months has been a very trying time for both handset component manufacturers and handset manufacturers alike. After many years of incredible growth, the handset industry has hit a series of stumbling blocks, including everything from a slow worldwide economy, to lackluster consumer acceptance of some new cellular services such as wireless data. Still, signs of returning growth are starting to appear, and with 2.5G and 3G already in operation, long-term prospects for growth look good, and new technologies look promising, although the days of rapid growth in handset semiconductor revenue are behind us.

This report analyzes the trends and technology in cellular handsets, and translates this into what it will all mean for semiconductor manufacturers. Forecasts in this report include component chipset units, average selling prices, and handset revenue for the following handset semiconductors: Bluetooth, GPS, WLAN, MPEG-4, camera image sensors, and main handset semiconductors, which are broken-out by RF/IF, baseband, flash, SRAM, audio, power management, and discretes. Five-year semiconductor forecasts are also broken-out by air-interface technology into the following categories: CDMAOne, CDMA2000 1X EV-DO, CDMA2000 1X EV-DO, GSM, GSM GPRS, GSM EDGE, TDMA, PHS, PDC, and W-CDMA.
