Description

This report from In-Stat/MDR illustrates that market demand for WLAN equipment and services in the China marketplace is heating up. In-Stat/MDR expects WLAN equipment revenues in China to increase at a near 33% CAGR, from about $54 million in 2004 to almost $160 million by 2008.

This research has found that although China Netcom deployed the first wireless LAN service in China in 2001, foreign equipment providers still hold the lion's share of the WLAN market in this region with a combined 70% share of overall revenues.

Adding to upward momentum for WLAN in the China marketplace are sharply decreasing costs for both WLAN equipment and notebook computers - a trend that will continue to lend attractiveness to WLAN usage, especially for high-end business users. With its enormous population, China, as a market, still exhibits very low penetration rates for PDAs and Notebook computers; however, notebook computer sales are expected to increase by 30% this year, and an increasing number of those will be shipped with WLAN capability.

This report contains forecasts for WLAN equipment revenues in the China marketplace, as well as revenue by provider, equipment distribution by China region and equipment distribution by type. Also explained is the crucial importance of standards, security and government involvement.
