Wi-Fi Represents Strongest Opportunity in Global Connected Digital Photo Frame Market Finds Electronics.ca Publications
NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Montréal, Québec, Canada, 07/02/2009 - The market for digital photo frames has taken-off, particularly since prices dropped to affordable levels in the first half of 2009, according to a new market research report available at Electronics.ca Publications.
Electronics.ca Publications, the electronics industry market research and knowledge network, announces the availability of a new report entitled "Wi-Fi Represents Strongest Opportunity in Global Connected Digital Photo Frame Market".
The market for digital photo frames has taken-off, particularly since prices dropped to affordable levels in the first half of 2009, according to a new market research report available at Electronics.ca Publications. However, due to difficult economic conditions and the trend to purchase digital photo frames as gifts pre-loaded with pictures, most units shipped still lack advanced features such as wireless connectivity to the Internet. Nevertheless, wireless-enabled photo frames are a key growth driver as they will grow at twice the rate of overall digital photo frames in 2010.
Prices for connected frames will continue to decline, and as manufacturers educate consumers about these devices; the mass market will become more comfortable using the Internet services connected frames support. Applications such as sharing and downloading pictures over the Internet, as well as streaming Internet radio and video from online sites like YouTube, are expected to be primary drivers.
Other findings from the report include:
• Worldwide unit shipments of all digital photo frames are expected to reach 50 million by 2013.
• Nearly 60% of US respondents to consumer survey identified integrated wireless connectivity as a desired feature on their next digital photo frame purchase.
• The total silicon opportunity for digital photo frame suppliers will exceed $550 million by 2013.
• Microcontrollers comprise the largest opportunity in non-wireless enabled devices.
• The bill of materials for a wireless 8-inch digital photo frame will fall below US$36 by 2013; the LCD, the wireless module and the enclosure are the dominant cost items.
