802.15.4-Enabled Device Market Set to Grow 5x from 2012 to 2018

摘要

Annual shipments of 802.15.4-enabled devices are forecast to grow more than five times from 2012 to 2018, with a CAGR of over 30 percent. ZigBee continues to be the primary driver toward standardization and interoperability and will see further strong growth across many markets, accounting for almost 80 percent of total 802.15.4-enabled device shipments in 2018. "It's been quite a turbulent time for ZigBee over the last couple of years," said Peter Cooney, practice director. "Markets that seemed to be sure-fire bets for rapid growth, such as smart meters, have not delivered what was expected, while smart home markets continue to flourish."
