DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/37ff59/global_consumer_co) has announced the addition of the "Global Consumer Connected Device Market Forecast" report to their offering.
Infinite Research's global analysis of the Consumer Connected Device market details the critical trends, forces, industry developments, business models, and success factors driving connected device sales and adoption.
In less than half a decade, internet connectivity has evolved from mainly existing in the world of personal computing devices to now being included in virtually all products. Today, internet connectivity can be found in cars, toys, machines, and even public infrastructure. While growth of embedded internet connectivity has been fast across many product and equipment categories, the most rapid expansion today is occurring in the Consumer Connected Device space. Home electronics, such as televisions, videogame consoles, set-top boxes, and DVD players, are incorporating internet connectivity, as are mobile consumer devices like e-readers, media players, tablets, and digital cameras.
Rapid adoption of connected devices is being driven by consumers who require constant, real-time access to the internet. However, it's no longer just the web and email that drive users to access the internet. Consumers today require web access for a variety of reasons including location based services, social networking, video / conference calls, application (app) use, gaming and entertainment, cloud computing services, and more. Simply stated, the internet has evolved, and the associated products and services offered by the web now form a core part of consumers' daily lives.
Although the market for consumer connected devices is still in the early stages of development, initial product and service offerings have been very successful to date. In fact, e-readers, tablets, and connected-TVs are enjoying some of the highest adoption rates in the history of consumer electronics. With the world becoming increasingly dependent on the internet, the outlook for continuing connected device adoption is strong.
In response to such strong demand, companies around the world are increasingly targeting and profiting from the connected device phenomenon. Technology component suppliers (memory manufacturers, chip providers, etc) are forming relationships with device manufacturers and benefitting from the resulting industry growth while content/service/application providers are devising strategies and building ecosystems to spread their systems across multiple product categories. Meanwhile, telecommunications companies are devising new business models as they seek to connect multiple device categories to mobile networks.
Going forward, more types of consumer devices will become internet-enabled, and new device categories will likely emerge as well (similar to the e-reader's emergence in 2008). As the world becomes increasingly connected, it will also be possible for many consumer devices to interact with intelligent networks and systems. This will open up new business models and services that will greatly benefit and simplify the lives of consumers, as well as offer vast profit opportunities to companies targeting the consumer connected device market. These factors, along with the high quality user experiences, are combining to drive rapid growth of consumer connected devices.
