Worldwide Demand for Digital Radio Continues to Rise

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0154096/Worldwide-Demand-for-Digital-Radio-Continues-to-Rise.html

Consumer confidence is at its weakest point in over a decade; nevertheless the
worldwide market for digital radio experienaced year-over-year growth of 85%
between 2007 and 2008. A major factor driving this growth was the progress in
digital multimedia broadcast (DMB) service in Korea and China.

Another primary driver for digital radio market growth was further developments
in the HD radio market, such as the introduction of portable HD radio receivers.
Also, the merger between XM and Sirius did not deter demand for satellite radio
receivers in the US. Outside the US, digital audio broadcasting (DAB) technology
is the leading form of digital radio technology, and has reached mass-market
status within the UK.

The global market for satellite and terrestrial digital radio, combined, will
grow from 12 million unit shipments in 2007, to 55 million unit shipments in
2012. Additional market drivers include falling receiver prices, an increase in
the amount of digital programming, significant boosts in the promotion and
advertising of digital radio, and the enhanced functionality of digital radio
receivers.

In-Stat's latest report on the digital radio market offers worldwide unit
shipment and revenue forecasts for digital radio receivers. A forecast for US
satellite radio subscribers is also included.
