MPEG Video SoC Market Riding Along with the Consumer Electronics Market
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Growth in shipments of various video products in the consumer electronics market, even in a year with economic uncertainty like 2009, helped the MPEG video SoC market reach over 650 million units in 2009, says In-Stat. Digital set top boxes, digital TV sets, and Blu-ray players had large roles in the increase.
“Overall, In-Stat projects the MPEG IC revenue in consumer electronics will grow to $4.5 billion by 2014,” says Michelle Abraham, Principal Analyst, In-Stat. “However, the current market is seeing several acquisitions play out, as well as a competitive shift among players as specific MPEG IC segments mature while others emerge.”
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Renesas (formerly NEC) lead the market in Blu-ray MPEG SoCs in 2009.
- STMicroelectronics had 2009 market share above 60% share in the H.264 decoder SoC market for terrestrial set top boxes.
- Zoran was the market share leader for MPEG-4 SoCs for Mobile CE Applications.
- Worldwide H.264 chip unit shipments will increase by 51% in 2010 over 2009.
