Bluetooth-enabled Equipment Shipments to Hit 800 million this Year
IMS Research has tracked the market for Bluetooth technology since its inception, and has recently published the eighth edition of its annual Bluetooth technology report. In this new report, IMS continues to forecast healthy growth. However, caution should be exercised over the ultimate attach rates of Bluetooth technology in the total cellular handset market. As cellular handsets become more prevalent in less affluent markets, there is a growing demand for low-cost handsets that have only basic functionality. In this particular segment, it is probable that many handsets will not be enabled by Bluetooth technology, and hence the ultimate attach rate of 90% of all handsets globally, which suppliers initially anticipated, is unlikely to be attained. more
