SUMMARY
In-Stat expects the Wireless LAN (WLAN) chipset market to reach just over 140
million annual chipset unit shipments in 2005, representing a phenomenal
annual growth rate of a little over 50%. Chipset revenues are expected to
reach almost $1 billion, representing a 27% annual revenue growth rate.
Furthermore, In-Stat expects the Wi-Fi chipset market to grow to 430 million
annual chipset shipments in 2009.
In 2005, the growth was driven primarily by mobile PCs, home/SOHO wireless
routers and residential gateways, and external clients. WLAN chipsets embedded
in mobile PCs reached 45 million in 2005. Approximately 40 million chipsets
for home/SOHO wireless routers and Residential Gateway (RG) devices shipped in
2005. Additionally, chipsets for external clients continued to ship out in
considerable quantities, with approximately 25 million shipped in 2005. The
remainder of Wi-Fi chipset shipments will come from the emerging portable CE
device segment, namely handheld games, as well as the emerging stationary CE
device segment, primarily from gaming consoles and printers.
Broadcom, Atheros, and Intel were the market leaders in 2005, each ruling
specific market segments.
