March 29, 2007 (Macworld UK) — LONDON - Analysts at iSuppli expect the iPod-dominated market for media and music players to double between 2005 and 2010.
New research from the company confirms these devices now comprise the fastest-growing segments of the consumer electronics industry today.
ISuppli expects unit shipments will rise to 268.6 million units in 2011, expanding at an annual 13% growth rate from 128.7 million units in 2005. Shipments will reach 216.9 million units this year, they explained.

“Other reasons for the rapid market expansion include the expanding catalogue of available content and component cost reductions that are making the players more affordable for consumers."
The analysts pointed to a broadband-fueled change in consumer demand — the MySpace and YouTube generations want video. As such, iSuppli expects sales of multimedia devices to grow faster than those of MP3 players.
The total number of Internet households and broadband subscribers worldwide will grow to 883 million and 507 million respectively by 2011, iSuppli predicted.

Meanwhile, iSuppli forecasts the broadband music market will grow to $5 billion in revenue by 2010, up from $1.6 billion in 2006.
Market challenges include the need to make devices more robust and enduring, battery life and stronger competition from media-capable mobile phones.
