Bluetooth saw continued success in 2007, with more than 800 million Bluetooth-enabled devices shipping in the PC, PC peripheral, consumer electronics (CE), communications, automotive, and industrial/medical device segments. Over one billion devices are expected to ship in 2008, and shipments are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 18.1% over the 2007–2012 forecast period.

 

　　New Bluetooth specifications are on the horizon. The Low-Energy specification, expected to be adopted this year, will provide newfound opportunities for Bluetooth silicon in medical and industrial devices. Additionally, a High-Speed specification, to be based on either UWB or Wi-Fi, is expected to make inroads in data- and media-intensive applications, such as streaming video or music to or from a mobile phone.

 

　　This report contains five-year forecasts for the penetration of Bluetooth into products within the PC, PC peripheral, communications, CE, automotive, and industrial/medical segments. Additionally, five-year forecasts are provided for Bluetooth silicon ASPs, as well as for shipments and revenues of varying Bluetooth silicon types. In addition, the report also contains responses on Bluetooth and wireless headsets from three separate In-Stat surveys: domestic phone and web surveys, and an international web survey of Japanese, Korean, German, French and British consumers. Also included are profiles of major Bluetooth silicon manufacturers.
