LTE Chip Market Trends to 2018: Intel, The 2nd Leading Supplier Of 3G Thin Modems In 2013, Expected To Become The 2nd Leading Supplier Of LTE Thin Modems In 2014
M2 - Fri Mar 27, 10:13AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/38x29d/_lte_chip_market) has announced the addition of the " LTE Chip Market Trends" report to their offering. This report provides a detailed market analysis of all significant LTE cellular handset & tablet vendors and ics for LTE modems, associated application processors, rf transceivers and power amplifiers. Forecasts are provided (2012-2018) for both revenue and units for all covered products. Market shares for all vendors for each product type are included and 2014 market prospects for key vendors are discussed. Our forecast model uses ongoing shifts in oem share, technology (e.g., transition to integrated wi-fi) and product categories (e.g., tablet computers, after-market modems, mifi hotspots) to forecast which chip suppliers will benefit and which will not. Smartphones represented 73% of the LTE cellphone market in 2013 while LTE tablets reached 16%. The report asserts that tablets and hybrid notebooks will drive standalone LTE modem penetration rates in 2014 while integrated com-processors continue to lead in revenues. The total LTE baseband market grew from 103 million units in 2012 to 219 million in 2013. The report forecasts that it will grow by 47% to 338 million units this year. In addition, the report provides 2013 quarterly unit shipments and yoy market shares in revenue for the top ten equipment suppliers and their preliminary 2014 positioning as suppliers of mobile smartphones, tablets, and 3G/4g modems/hotspots. The report also provides revenue and unit consumption by geographical region. According to the report, intel, the 2nd leading supplier of 3G thin modems in 2013, will likely become the 2nd leading supplier of LTE thin modems in 2014. Their focus will be on winning 3G/4g modem orders for notebooks and tablets. They will be challenged by Marvell's 3G/4g pxa802 td- LTE modem, which also supports td-hspa and is already shipping to ZTE. 2013 was the first year that application processors surpassed 1 billion units with 44.5% of them as standalone units. We expect standalone consumption among smartphones to decline further in 2014 as more apps processors become part of com-processors. Forecasts for all key LTE cellphone chip types supplier 2013 market shares and chip forecasts through 2018: - Digital baseband processors (dbb) - rf transceivers - rf power amplifiers/modules - application processors (apps) - communication processors (dbb apps) - power management units (pmics) Key Topics Covered: I. Executive Summary A. Overview II. Mobile Market III. LTE Technology Trends IV. LTE Five Year Forecasts V. LTE Frequency Bands VI. LTE Communications Processor Supplier Profiles VII. LTE Thin Modem Baseband Supplier Profiles VIII. LTE Rf Transceiver Chip Suppliers IX.

Global Gesture Recognition Market in Automotive Sector Report 2015
M2 - Thu Mar 26, 9:23AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2kqm2g/global_gesture) has announced the addition of the "Global Gesture Recognition Market in Automotive Sector 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Gesture Recognition market in Automotive Sector to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% over the period 2013-2018. Gesture recognition is the ability of a device to identify and respond to different gestures of an individual. Gesture recognition technology can be 2D-based or 3D-based. It uses a camera-enabled device that beams an invisible infrared light onto the individual, which is reflected back to the camera and onto a gesture recognition IC. The IC, with the help of gesture recognition software, creates depth maps of the images received and responds appropriately to the movements. Thus, no physical contact is required between individuals and devices. Gesture recognition helps in providing a higher level of safety in automotives. The major applications of gesture recognition in automotives include management of audio and video systems, dashboards, and other controls. This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Gesture Recognition market in Automotive sector for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from sales of 2D gesture recognition solutions used in the Automotive sector. The revenue generated from sales of 3D gesture recognition technology has not been considered. Increase in the number of partnerships between automobile manufacturers and gesture recognition solution vendors is one of the key trends upcoming in this market. Automobile manufacturers such as Ford, Toyota, and Mercedes have developed partnerships with gesture recognition vendors such as Microsoft. Intel and Harman are also entering the market along with leading automobile manufacturers to provide gesture recognition capabilities in automobiles. According to the report, increased demand for cost-effective gesture recognition solutions is one the major market drivers. Gesture recognition solutions are available at an affordable cost because they need only software and a camera with a sensor for the recognition process. Further, the report states that the non-standardization of gestures is a serious challenge for the market. For instance, a subtle movement of the user's hand could activate a function he did not intend to perform. Therefore, a certain level of standardization is required to ensure the accuracy of gesture recognition in different applications.
