Parks Associates to host workshop Portable Players,
Bundled Services, & the Global Landscape at 2006 International CES
Parks Associates announced today it will host a half-day pre-show
workshop,
Portable Players, Bundled Services, & the Global Landscape, at the
2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Jan 4, 2006.
Portable Players, Bundled Services, & the Global Landscape will
feature multiple analysts from Parks Associates, the leading market
research firm studying digital living technologies and services. They will
present on the worldwide potential for advanced technologies and services,
as well as the impact of portability and Internet technologies on
entertainment, video, and voice services, with in-depth analysis on
current market demands, future growth opportunities, and market drivers
and inhibitors.
Recent research from Parks Associates shows great increases in the near
term for key advanced product and service categories:
- The number of broadband households with a residential gateway (RG)
will reach 47 million by 2010, driven in large part by carrier needs to
acquire and retain customers and build ARPU from new revenue-generating
services.
- Television manufacturers will see a surge in cumulative HDTV sales
over the next few years, which will boost the overall market value to
$65 billion by 2009.
- The number of U.S. households with a networked storage device will
grow to nearly 10 million by 2010.
- Cumulative shipments of portable multimedia players will top 13
million units by 2010.
- By the end of 2006, the worldwide digital music market (not counting
mobile) will account for 4.5% of all music sales.
- Revenues from premium VOD downloads will total $530 million at
year-end 2009.
- Among online populations in China and South Korea, more than 75% of
consumers who plan to purchase an MP3 player in the next 12 months
already own one.
- In France, 36% of all Internet households go to the cinema every
month while just 21% rent movies.
“Understanding the intricacies of these markets, especially when it
comes to matching strategy with success, can be overwhelming,” said
Tricia Parks,
president of Parks Associates. “Our pre-show workshop is a perfect primer
for CES attendees. It provides an intimate setting for executives and
media to ask specific questions regarding the latest technologies for
consumers. It also offers unique and comprehensive insights into the
markets for the specific products they will see on the CES show floor.”
Portable Players, Bundled Services, & the Global Landscape will
take place 1:00-4:00 p.m. on Jan. 4 in the South Hall at CES. The workshop
