This study predicts that the digital television semiconductor market will grow to $4.7 billion in 2006 and to $7.7 billion in 2010, an 18% CAGR. "Driven by the rapid consumer adoption of flat screen, especially LCD, televisions, the market is emerging very quickly. Additionally, worldwide digital tuner mandates push more silicon content into the TV, increasing the opportunity for chip vendors. However, the market is exceptionally competitive, and vertically integrated companies still dominate. Dozens of companies are in the space today, and we anticipate many more will enter. We spell out the competitive challenges these companies face as they strive for precious sockets." - IdaRose Sylvester, senior analyst, IDC Consumer Semiconductor program
