Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication in Consumer Electronics 2010-20
NEW YORK, July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication in Consumer Electronics 2010-20

"The role that mobile operators, and mobile connectivity standards, might potentially play in the Consumer Electronics market is severely limited by the cost of WWAN embedded modules. Chipsets for Wi-Fi and other short range communications technologies generally contribute under USD 2.50 to Bill of Materials costs, and often less than USD 1.00. By comparison, 3G embedded modules cost of the order of USD30-60, with 4G costing more still, and effectively price the technology out of the highly competitive Consumer Electronics market. If those prices don't fall, then the mobile industry might just have to sit out the opportunity for M2M connected consumer electronics and stick to already established mobile broadband devices."
Jim Morrish, Director
Machine-to-machine in Consumer Electronics represents a huge commercial opportunity. Machina Research's Connected Intelligence report Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication in Consumer Electronics 2010-20 forecasts that:
-The installed base of M2M connected Consumer Electronics devices will exceed 4.2billion by 2020. By 2020, North America will be the third largest regional market in terms of device count, representing 21% of the market. Europe will be the largest market, representing 29% of connected Consumer Electronics devices, and Developing Asia Pacific markets will represent 27% of the total device count.
-The White Goods market will begin to adopt M2M connectivity in the out years of the forecast, as smart metering and pro-active energy management become more prevalent. At the start of the forecast, however, the count of connected devices is dominated by Audio Visual Sources (mostly Computer Gaming Consoles) and Personal Multimedia (mostly Mobile Gaming Consoles).
-Total traffic generated by M2M applications in Consumer Electronics (and carried over wide area networks) will exceed 700 Exabytes annually by 2020. The vast majority of this traffic (99%) will be generated by web-TV applications, with internet radio generating the buk of the remaining traffic. However, Consumer Electronics applications will generate only approximately 1.6 Petabytes of mobile network traffic by 2020. The majority of this traffic will be generated by a few niche applications, including household Internet Information Devices, digital Photo Frames digital Cameras and Mobile Games Consoles. Tracking Applications (for children and pets) will generate only approaching 0.5 Petabytes of wide area wireless traffic by 2020
-The total market for M2M connected Consumer Electronics will grow to approaching EUR 400 billion in 2020.
About the report
Machine-to-machine (M2M) Communication in Consumer Electronics 2010-20provides invaluable qualitative and quantitative analysis of the emerging opportunity for machine-to-machine communications in Consumer Electronics.
The forecast excel data sheet includes very granular 10 year market forecasts for 54 countries and 6 regions. The forecast covers numbers of connections, traffic and revenue for each of the eight identified healthcare application groups (Audio Visual Sources, Audio Visual Displays, Personal Multimedia, Household Information Devices, White Goods, Network Equipment, Tracking Applications, and 'Other') with splits by technology (2G, 3G, 4G, short range, MAN, fixed WAN and satellite) and a break-out of mobile traffic revenue.
The report reviews the major drivers and barriers for growth of M2M in Consumer Electronics and analyses thekey market dynamics, including how MNOs, fixed operators, service providers and vendors might go about identifying and realising addressable opportunities.Each applicationis examined individually with forecast analysis, and selected case studies.
Scope:
It should be noted that this report focuses on the Consumer Electronics sector, and does not consider applications of the individual device categories identified outside of the consumer sector: for example, internet enabled TVs in retail environments are not considered.
It should also be noted that under Machina Research's definition of M2M devices (Connections to remote sensing, monitoring and actuating devices, together with associated aggregation devices) the following devices are classified as Mobile Broadband Devices (and so analysed in the Machina Research report Mobile Broadband Global Forecast & Analysis 2010-20):
-eReaders
-Multimedia Tablets
-Enterprise Tablets
Additionally, we do not recognise mobile phones as M2M connected devices.
