Global Digital Media Adaptor Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Tue May 13, 8:25AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kvfcxg/global_digital) has announced the addition of the "Global Digital Media Adaptor Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering. One of the main drivers is the flexibility of wireless streaming of media content, which allows the digital media adaptor to share and stream media content on the same network. One of the latest trends being witnessed in the market is the integration of the digital media adaptor with the smart TV and the media player. Instead of a separate media adaptor, the media adaptor is integrated into the smart TV, which allows it to directly connect to the internet, stream media, and access subscribed content. This could be a threat to companies that are only producing media adaptors for retail market. In order to overcome this threat, companies could tie up with smart TV manufacturers to supply them with media adaptors. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges hindering the growth of this market is the growing STB market. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Apple Inc. - Roku Inc - Western Digital Corp - Netgear Inc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Archos Inc. - Cisco Systems Inc - Google Inc. - Microsoft Corp. - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd - Sony Corp. - ZyXEL Communications Corp.
