Product Code: R97-2526Description After a dawning year of 2005, the digital home market in China is going to grow steadily in the coming five years. Along with digital home applications stepping onto the entertainment-sharing stage, the market will be largely driven by an increasing demand for digital entertainment. In-Stat forecasts that digital home installed households will reach 8 million in 2010, and the home networking device revenue in total will see four times the growth in the next five years to over 800 million in 2010.
The ecosystem is almost ready for the China digital entertainment home market with adequate endpoint devices, infrastructure providers, and abundant commercial digital content offered by service/content providers. In short supply however, are more applicable home networking devices, more affordable media networking devices, and dedicated home network builders.
Associated with analysis of the China digital home ecosystem, this report covers digital home device market dynamics and analysis on home networking connectivity technologies and related technology standards.Table of Contents
