ABI: Wireless sensor network shipments
to reach 645 million in 2015
In 2009, the 802.15.4 chipset shipments dropped by almost
30% compared with the 2008. ABI Research in its latest report
on wireless sensor network (WSN) market has suggested that
the WSN market has recovered in 2010 and the market may
grow from 10million chipsets in 2009 to 645million in 2015,
a CAGR of 99.6%.
"Because they are based on emerging technology, wireless
sensor network adoption suffered during 2009 as pilots and
early projects were scaled back or put on hold. However,
2010 has seen a significant rebound and strong shipment
growth," says ABI research principal analyst Jonathan
Collins.
ABI Research says that initiatives such as ZigBee RF4CE
for home entertainment systems have already started to deliver
market growth and while ZigBee is far from the only 802.15.4-based
technology delivering short-range wireless connectivity,
it is leading in the early adoption of "smart energy"
and home automation. Other key markets for WSN adoption
are home, building and industrial automation.
