Wired, Wireless Products Bowed For Custom Market

TwiceThere's always room for more new products in an industry that's growing at double-digit percentage rates, if suppliers' introductions here at International CES are a reliable indicator.

Wired and wireless products at the low and high ends will debut at the show, where some companies will enter the market, others will expand their presence and all hope the industry's momentum doesn't let up, as the latest forecast from Parks Associates promises.

For 2006, Parks forecasts residential installer-level revenues to grow 13.7 percent to $8.3 billion, including labor revenue. That would follow estimated 2005 growth of 17.7 percent to $7.3 billion, and 2004 growth of 21.6 percent to $6.2 billion (see chart).
