Summary

This IDC study presents the top 10 predictions for 2007 in European consumer markets. Market sectors covered include digital audio, digital video downloads, digital TV, electronic gaming, home networking, and portable media players.

"As the overall market for consumer technologies has burgeoned, a key theme is the growing impact each of these areas has on the others, and a requirement for competitors -whether their origins lie in the PC, audio, TV, movie, networking, or gaming industries -to ignore traditional boundaries," said Jason Armitage, Senior Research Analyst, European Consumer Markets.
