Set-Top Boxes Market - Global Industry Size, Market Share, Trends, Analysis And Forecasts 2012 - 2018


The worldwide market for set top boxes is expected to experience significant growth rate in the near future as a result of technological advancements and better quality of signal transmission. Asia Pacific and Latin America markets are expected to witness double digit growth rate in this market as subscribers are gaining access to pay TV platforms for the very first time. 

Shaken by the economic slowdown, set top boxes market noted slow growth rate in past few years; however, the condition is significantly changing with many new manufacturers emerging in the market, thus increasing the competition. Technological developments and research is carried out in the field by most manufacturers for improving the picture quality offered by these set top boxes, and better signal reception ability in order to withstand in the competition. Demand for set top boxes is also expected to be spurred by shift of consumers from premium set top boxes to high definition viewing set top boxes. 

Market Segmentation :- Cable Set Top Boxes,Satellite Set Top Boxes,IP Set Top Boxes,Terrestrial Set Top Boxes, HbbTV Set Top Boxes


The worldwide set-top box market is expected to grow slowly, from 221 million in 2011 to 242 million in 2016, with a small dip forecast in 2012 as a lull exists between North American and Western European digital transitions (which are largely complete), and those in other parts of the world (which have not yet reached critical mass). Set-top box shipments through the period decline in North America and Western Europe (especially in saturated cable platforms that are losing subscribers to telco and satellite alternatives), while they grow strongly in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, where subscribers are gaining access to pay-TV platforms for the first time.

This report provides worldwide shipments and revenues of set-top boxes segmented by platform (cable, satellite, DTT, IPTV) and geography (North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East-Africa). It describes quantitative and qualitative trends in the STB markets, including digital terrestrial transitions, digital cable transitions, HD service offerings, hybrid (CATV-IPTV, DBS-IPTV, and DBS-DTT) set-top boxes, and the adoption of cable video gateways.




Overall, the anticipated drop in 2011 does not signify a weak market but instead represents a correc­tion from the hefty 10.4 percent growth seen in 2010, IHS believes. Last year proved exceptionally strong, thanks to the World Cup soccer final as well as the analog-to-digital transition of Comcast, the world’s largest cable operator. While broadcasts of the wildly popular World Cup translated into many new sub­scribers for cable worldwide, the change at Comcast was enough to drive North American STB shipments in 2010 to 29.3 million units, up from 25.6 million the year earlier.

Among manufacturers, four suppliers formed a clear top tier. British-based Pace plc was No. 1 in 2010 with shipments of 20.7 million units, followed by three U.S. companies—Motorola Inc. with 19.0 million units; Technicolor with 12.9 million; and Cisco Systems Inc. with 12.2 million. Together, the Top 4 accounted for 44 percent of the market.

Rounding out the Top 10 were South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. in fi fth, U.S. fi rm Echo­Star—owner of Dish Network—in sixth, and the three Chinese companies of Skyworth, Humax and Coship. Despite a shift in the STB market to premium systems, average selling prices (ASP) for set-top boxes continue to decline. The industry average ASP in 2010 was under $103, down from slightly over $107 the year before. A key factor driving costs down is the falling price of semiconductors for STBs, with advancements in processing technology making chips less expensive. For instance, high-defi nition proces­sors have been found costing just over $13, down from as much as $20. Costs will continue to drop, with the overall bill of materials for set-top boxes expected to retreat an additional 10 to 15 percent by 2015 compared to present levels.

Smart Card Technology Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018


Smart cards market can be classified based on the basis of the interface into contact smart cards, contactless smart cards, and hybrid smart cards. Based on its components, there are two types - memory smart cards and microprocessors. Smart cards have a wide area of application such as in transportation, telecommunication, for making government IDs, in the financial sector and in paid TV services. In addition to these, geographically the market is divided into North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the world.

The global smart card market was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7%. The market is expected to reach USD 7.9 billion by 2018. The telecommunication sector is the largest revenue generator for the smart card market, contributing about 50% of the revenue. Geographically, EMEA is the largest revenue generator for the smart cards market on account of technology competence and demand for secured transactions.


The major driver for the smart card market is its application in the financial sector with the increased global demand for credit cards. Also, rising cases of fraudulent transactions have reduced the use of the magnetic strip for encoding data. The explosive growth in the cell phone market, especially in India and China, has resulted in tremendous growth in the smart card market. The widened 3G penetration has also enhanced the demand for these cards.
smartcards--small plastic cards with silicon chips implanted in them--are hard to miss. They are used for making calls on a pay phone or boarding a subway. One smartcard can do the work of several magnetic-stripe conventional cards.

In the mid-1990s, many analysts predicted that Americans would also be using smartcards by now, but the U.S. rollout has been slower than expected. One notable exception is American Express Blue card. In the U.S., smartcards have made their biggest penetration, so far, inside wireless phones, TV set-top boxes and security access cards. 



Worldwide microprocessor card shipments grew by 45%, to 628 million units, while memory card shipments reached 1.1 billion, according to market research firm Gartner Dataquest. The global market is expected to get a huge boost, as China--where smartcards are already commonly used for public telephones--wants to issue 1.26 billion smart identification cards to every one of its citizens over the next five years.

The two biggest card suppliers are Gemplus a French-owned company based in Luxembourg, and Schlumberger who together control two-thirds of the market. Last month, Gemplus blamed the slowdown in mobile phone shipments for a $6.5 million loss during its first fiscal quarter ended March 31. On June 6, it warned that it expects a second-quarter operating loss of 10 million to 15 million euros ($8.5 million to $12.8 million).

Earnings are now more correlated to worldwide handset sales than management may have expected, notes a recent report by David Readerman, analyst with Thomas Weisel Partners in San Francisco. Shares of Gemplus are off more than 60% from their 52-week high. On the bright side, Gemplus has recently landed contracts to sell smartcards to Fleet Credit Card Services, First USA and Visa.

Semiconductor manufacturers also have a stake in smartcards. For example, German chipmaker Infineon the former semiconductors unit of Siemens, reported $418 million in sales of smartcard-related chips, according to a market study published by Gartner Dataquest. This study also pegged smartcard-related revenue for Europe's STMicroelectronics at $365 million.

Mobile Wallet Market - Global Forecast, Market Share, Size, Growth and Industry Analysis, 2012 - 2018


A mobile wallet is an e-account used to store and transfer money through a cell phone which is also known as mobile payment or mobile money transfer. With an increasing adoption of money transfer through handheld devices, the mobile wallet market is expected to double by 2013 compared to 2011. Financial service providers will take this opportunity to improve their services and satisfy transaction needs.

The mobile payment is a promising market and is predicted to increase to 1.2 billion users and USD 2 trillion in value transaction by 2018. Europe and North America with large numbers of mobile users is dominating the current market. However, Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with rapidly growing smartphone markets in emerging economies such as India and China. In terms of applications, SMS-based services are leading the market. 


Innovation in web based applications will play an important role in spurring the growth of the mobile wallet market in the short and medium term. Market collaboration between industry players such as IT industries, financial services and telecom service providers will further drive the growth of this market. In emerging countries due to increasing deployment of wireless technology, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology will play a major role in the market development. However, stringent regulations and growing security concerns for online transactions will inhibit the growth of the mobile wallet market globally. 

Five different types of Mobile Wallets in the marketplace, it makes sense to first ground ourselves in what we mean by this term. After all, in the past year this term has grown wildly in popularity, and is used to describe a whole host of different concepts. We think that, at its core, a Mobile Wallet is any application that enables individuals to store their credit/debit cards and banking information on their mobile device, and use that device to make retail purchases or other online payments. Mobile wallets are also known as virtual wallets or digital wallets, and there are various providers all competing for widespread market acceptance, among them traditional credit card processors, online payment solutions, brick-and-mortar retailers, and even telephone network carriers. Typically, Mobile Wallet solutions facilitate in-store payments only or BOTH in-store AND online transactions. While the approaches of the providers vary, their end goals are all the same: to make brick-and-mortar retail payments as easy as holding up your mobile device at the Point of Sale (POS) in stores, eliminating the need for customers to carry their physical wallets, while capturing user behavior and customer information that can be used to drive future sales.      


For retailers and consumer products companies, Mobile Wallets provide a compelling opportunity to market to customers directly. Each consumer is unique, with individualistic shopping habits and expectations. Mobile Wallets enable merchants and brands to provide real time customized and targeted marketing to their customers through mobile devices. While this is great news for the retail industry, there is a wide array of Mobile Wallet solutions in the marketplace, with no clear market leader. As each of those solutions use different approaches to solve the problem and provide different feature sets, retailers and their vendors need to weight these factors carefully when deciding which approach to adopt.

The Payment Industry and the Mobile Wallet Landscape

According to the Nilson Report, last year $6.7 trillion was channeled through credit card networks such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express ($15 trillion when including debit cards/pre-paid cards). Competing firms and industries want to take a slice of this huge market via the mobile revolution by transforming the way consumers make payments – from plastic cards to mobile devices. However, due to complicated regulations and specialized payment and anti-fraud systems, it is not easy for scrappy start-ups or new market entrants to provide valid mobile purchasing options without help from the veterans in the payment industry (see figure 1 below for an overview of the relationship network surrounding the Mobile Wallet).

Technological and scientific advancements have continuously added quantum and sophistication to mechanization and transportation machinery which has constituted the backbone of modern day farming in the US followed by other continents as well. Weak economic conditions reflected in poor sales of farm tires in 2009. Increased global demand for farm produce coupled with revival in economy saw an increase in sales in 2010.


A slow but positive growth of the US economy and stability is forecasted for 2011. With reported increase in demand, production and income from farm sources, the US farm tire shipments are expected to increase at a CAGR of approximately 7.8% for the period spanning 2011 to 2013.

The US farm tire market has two segments, replacement and original equipment farm tires, and is further categorized into radial and bias construction types. The replacement segment accounts for the maximum share of total US farm tire market. The increase in demand for agricultural produce coupled with other factors will result in increased purchase of new agricultural machinery thus leading to a consequent rise in demand for original equipment farm tires. The US tractor market which is the largest end application market of farm tires is reporting constant increase in sales.

New technological and design developments in farm vehicular machinery have resulted in further development of farm tires, larger in size and for diversified uses. The country is witnessing regular growth in the net farm income, total crop production and production expenses which will continue to drive the farm tire market in the coming years. In addition, the continuously rising Indian tractor market, provides an opportunity to the US farm tire market in terms of more exports. However, issues such as increasing raw material prices and rising inventory costs pose a challenge for the manufacturers and dealers in the industry's supply chain.

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Market Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth And Forecast, 2012 - 2017


Membrane bioreactor is a combination of various components which are used for waste water treatment. Membrane bioreactor incorporates two processes to treat water. The  first step is a bioreactor, in which bacteria consumes organic material with the help of dissolved oxygen in the water, and the second step is a membrane module in which relatively pure water separates itself from organic matter and bacteria. These two units run step by step - firstly liquid flows through the bioreactor and then through the membrane separation process. Membrane bioreactors serve the municipal and industrial sector.

Membrane bioreactors are experiencing high growth due to the increasing demand for recycling and reusing of wastewater, increase in industrialization, lack of pure water, and large number of landfills. Despite a number of growth drivers in this market, there are some challenges faced by the membrane bioreactor market that may restrict growth. These are: restriction of import, export barrier for system components, limited availability of funds, lack of investment by multinational companies and so on.

The market is primarily driven by the technological advancements in electronics and automobile industries which influence the usage of rare earth metals. However, the growing concerns regarding the impact of production, refining and recycling of rare earth metals on the environment are expected to hinder the market.  

China is the leading supplier of rare earth metals and accounts for approximately 95% of the global production. In 2010, the Chinese government restricted the export of rare earth metals to 40% in order to gain the price advantage as the global prices surged to a record level following this announcement from the Chinese government. However, this gave other producers around the globe a chance to boost their production. In the twentieth century, U.S., India, Brazil, and South Africa were among the top producers of rare earth metals until China, in 1980, decided to heavily increase its production and became the leading producer of rare earth metals.Some of the key participants in the global market include AGC Seimi Chemical, Arafura Resources, China Minmetals, China Rare Earth Holdings, Ferro Corporation, Indian Rare Earths, Mitsui Mining and Smelting, Molycorp, Rhodia and so on.
