Summary

Study Goals and Objectives

This market research report focuses on embedded technology, including both embedded hardware and embedded software. The report forecasts the market for embedded technology through 2013 by considering macroeconomic factors and dynamics of the markets for various end products. IT also provides measurement and analysis of major market segments, and highlights major players and emerging trends affecting the market.

Reasons for Undertaking The Study

The ease of developing and marketing embedded devices is increasing with the advancement of technology and communication. Embedded devices are now starting to dominate nearly every aspect of human life. Many new devices are being introduced into the global market every day with innovative end application. from cell phones to digital TVs to mp3 players to refrigerators to washers, we are constantly using embedded devices for different purposes, blissfully unaware of the underlying technology.

Embedded hardware and software make these embedded devices work. The success of the embedded devices is defined by the quality of the device's design and development, and its use of the proper underlying hardware that meets cost constraints. This study analyzes key components of embedded devices, underlying business models and the drivers for each. IT projects the overall market size and that of major market segments.

Embedded Technology Market Segmentation

Historically, the term embedded systems was used to describe any non-PC-related system, but in time, the definition has grown to include any system that is dedicated to a particular functionality. We have segmented the embedded market into hardware and software. The hardware segment consists of Processor IP, MPU/MCU, DSP, ASIC, FPGA, and embedded boards. The software segment consists of OS, software development and testing tools, middleware, and Linux-based OS and tools.

Scope of Report

The report is divided into two parts: embedded software and embedded hardware. for each segment of the hardware and software market, we have provided:

Definition and further segmentation
Overall market
Geographic data
Revenue by end application
Business models
Growth forecast and market trends
Key players and market share

The report also includes a high-level discussion on the embedded hardware design.

The report does not consider chips developed for a specialized market such as set-top boxes. IT also excludes IP and EDA tools used for the development of hardware.

This Report Will Provide:

Understanding of the embedded devices architecture and the roles played by different hardware components.
Understanding of the market segment and factors driving its growth.
Knowledge of business models used in different market segments.
Market potential for each segment and projection for the next 5 years.

Intended Audience

This report touches many industries, and will be useful to a broad reader base. More specifically, we believe that the following categories of people should benefit from the information in this analysis:

Embedded industry insiders looking to enhance their business knowledge by understanding more about the market trends, including executives, managers, marketing, and salespeople.
Product marketing and management people who want to understand the intricacies of the embedded market and position their products accordingly.
Business and venture executives in the technology industry looking to invest in embedded hardware companies.
