An In-Depth, Global Analysis of Cellphones, Chips & Subscribers

Report No: 8030

Cellular is gaining an increasing share of the entire electronics market; likely overtaking the PC market in the next decade.  Therefore, any company involved in electronics needs to understand how cellphones will affect their future planning.

This extensive (564-page) market study covers cellular handsets, the integrated circuits that enable those devices and the vendors of both.  Our informed views on the global market and trends will be of great benefit in your long-term planning.  Unlike other analysts who track shipments of only the top 5 cellphone vendors, we cover the top 38.

The cellphone has become the physical and market magnet that is pulling in the functionality of digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players, GPS navigators, Bluetooth, FM Radio, mobile TV, cordless phones, smart cards and even fingerprint sensors.  It is important to understand that the cellphone is quickly becoming the dominant market for virtually all of these functions.  If your company is involved with any products that provide these functions, you will need to know how these traditional markets will change significantly because of cellular technology and trends. 

This market study explores the dynamics of each of these functions and profiles the chip providers for each of them...and it forecasts the markets for virtually all cellphone chip types, including digital basebands, RF transceivers and PA's, application processors, and many more.

While Qualcomm and Texas Instruments continue to dominate the cellphone chip market, new peripherals are being added...creating opportunities for other vendors to target new chip types to get their piece of the market.  This study provides the key information needed for new business plans.

With this valuable resource, you will be better equipped to understand the market and new business opportunities, to know your potential customers and to be better informed about your competitors.  We believe that there is no other cellphone or cellphone chip market study available that has the breadth or depth of coverage of this one.

As with all of our reports, your satisfaction is guaranteed.
