1. Assuming that the standards and regulatory issues for licensing the UWB spectrum in Asia and Europe are resolved by the end of 2006 or early 2007, this market is likely to grow aggressively at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 196 percent to reach $950 million in 2009,” says the analyst.Source; Frost & Sullivan
2. ZigBee chipsets registered unit shipment of nearly 2.5 million in 2005 and revenues of around $11.2 million. This market is also expected to grow exponentially at a CAGR of 190 percent to reach approximately $800.0 million in 2009. Although this market is likely to initially register exceptional growth, the prices of ZigBee chipsets are likely to decline gradually following the commoditization of the market. However, this is likely to be compensated by an equal increase in unit shipment, thereby sustaining revenue growth. Source: Frost & Sullivan
3. According to market research firm RoA Group, the global demand for mobile RFID is expected to grow from $26.9 billion in 2007 to $701 billion by 2010, for a CAGR of 196 percent. Source: RoA Group
4. Nanorobotic devices have by far the greatest potential for growth in the forecast period. By the end of 2006, devices were worth just over $1 million dollars in the global market. By 2011 their value will skyrocket to $560.9 million, a CAGR over 250%, creating a 67.5% share of the total market.Source: BCC Research
5. Infonetics Research forecasts that worldwide session controller revenue will reach $304 million by the end of 2006, a CAGR of 195 percent. So what’s the appeal? Session border controllers handle two basic tasks. They enable two varying VoIP providers to interconnect their networks without the often-cumbersome process of converting voice and data traffic to TDM (time-division multiplexing) in between. They also enable IP-based PBX or Centrex users to connect directly to service provider VoIP networks. Source: Infonetics
6. In the coming years, single walled carbon nanotubes market is projected to overtake multi walled carbon nanotubes market and projected to cross US$5 billion by the year 2012, at a very high CAGR of 200%.
