Erosion in consumer segment flattens DSP sales in 2005; Total DSP market growth will resume and accelerate starting in 2006Scottsdale, Arizona --- November 24, 2005 --- A 36 percent decline in digital signal processor revenues in consumer systems applications this year will result in a flat DSP market overall during 2005, based on the latest projections by IC Insights. Consumer applications will represent about 4 percent of the total $7.8 billion DSP market in 2005 (see Figure 1), down from a 7 percent share in 2004 primarily due to falling average selling prices in home and entertainment products. Overall, DSP unit shipments are expected to slip 2 percent to about 1.3 billion in 2005, the IC Insights forecast shows. Communications systems will account for more than 80 percent of DSP sales in 2005 at $6.4 billion, an increase of more than 4 percent compared to $6.1 billion in 2004. The automotive DSP segment is now forecast to increase 6 percent to $312 million in 2005, from $294 million in the prior year. The automotive segment represents just 4 percent of the total DSP market, according to IC Insights.
Figure 1 In 2006, revenue growth will return to the total DSP market, with worldwide sales rising 9 percent to $8.5 billion followed by an 18 percent increase in 2007 and a 27 percent surge in 2008, based on IC Insights' industry outlook.
