Summary

This IDC study provides the market analysis for the worldwide Bluetooth semiconductor market from 2008 through 2012. The Bluetooth semiconductor market is expected to grow, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%, from $1.7 billion in 2007 to $3.3 billion in 2012. Mobile phones will continue to be the largest application for Bluetooth semiconductor by revenue and units followed by Bluetooth headsets, PCs, and PC peripherals.

"The growth for Bluetooth semiconductor will track the growing attach rate for Bluetooth in mobile phones. Bluetooth headsets is a growing revenue opportunity with a chance to innovate and provide differentiation for the semiconductor suppliers. We expect the double-digit growth to continue in this market over the next five years with the growing acceptance of Bluetooth in applications such as PC, gaming, and consumer electronic devices," explains Ajit Deosthali, IDC research manager, Short Range Wireless Semiconductors.
