Service providers are increasingly driving the broadband powerline networking equipment market, helping to push growth over 50% in 2008, reports In-Stat (www.in-stat.com). However, governments are looking for ways to make their current power generation grid and assets suffice without building additional generation plants, which may become a significant driver for powerline technology in the near future, the high-tech market research
firm says.
"While powerline retail markets will suffer with a global recession, less impact will be felt from the service provider and utility sectors, resulting in continued growth through 2012," says Joyce Putscher, In-Stat analyst.
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Worldwide equipment shipments based on Home-Plug and non-HomePlug broadband powerline approached 10 million units in 2007.
- Devolo AG again ranked number one in worldwide annual equipment market shares.
- Governments in Europe, China, and the US have all set aside funding for smart grid applications.
The research, "Global Powerline Home Networking Update: Growing In Spite of the Economy" (#IN0804083RC), covers the worldwide market for powerline home networking. It provides guidance on market trends and expected progress, opportunities, segmentations, market sizing, and consumer survey results.
