Infonetics Research: Broadband CPE market hits $4.6B in 2007
CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - March 12, 2008) - The worldwide broadband customer premises
equipment (CPE) market, which includes DSL and cable modems, digital home
gateways, and voice terminal adapters, totaled $4.6 billion in 2007, up 10%
from 2006, reports Infonetics
Research in the 4Q07 edition of "Broadband CPE and
Subscribers."
"Broadband connectivity continues to grow around the world as service
providers increasingly offer bundles of voice, internet, music, gaming, and
video services over broadband access to residential subscribers," said Mark Showalter, the new
directing analyst for broadband networks at Infonetics Research. "Intense
competition between cable MSOs and traditional wireline service providers
remains the key driver for new CPE innovations."
Other highlights from the report:
-- The worldwide broadband CPE market totaled $1.2 billion in 4Q07, up 9%
from 3Q07
-- Infonetics Research forecasts the broadband CPE market to hit $6.6
billion in 2011
-- The number of standard and wideband cable broadband subscribers topped
68 million worldwide in 2007; the number of DSL subscribers neared 206
million
-- Digital home gateway sales surged in 2007, with worldwide revenue up
312% from 2006
-- Comcast's selection of Thomson for standard EMTAs helped Thomson jump
back to first place in worldwide broadband CPE revenue in 4Q07
-- Motorola surged into second for worldwide revenue share in 4Q07, while
Arris dropped from first to third
-- In 4Q07, over half of all broadband CPE revenue came from DSL CPE, and
over a third came from cable CPE
-- EMEA is expected to lead in broadband CPE sales due to the larger
number of DSL subscribers in the region, and higher expected numbers of
IPTV and voice over broadband service subscribers
