By 2009 The Market for Digital Satellite and Terrestrial Radio is Predicted to Increase Its Shipments to 22 Million Units.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c30662) has announced the addition of Digital Radio Transmitting audio programs (music, news, sports, etc.) in digital format. See DAB and satellite radio Home, Car and Portable Tuners are available for home and car, and portable units can serve multiple venues. Although adapters are used to retrofit existing cars, both companies have partnered with auto manufacturers to make their radios available for new cars. Some portable units can output an FM signal that is picked up by the car radio, which eliminates wiring into the car's audio system. See DAB and DARS..: Turning Up the Volume on Satellite and Terrestrial Radio Adoption to their offering. Worldwide, the combined market of both digital satellite and terrestrial radio will grow from approximately 5 million unit shipments in 2004 to 22 million unit shipments in 2009. The primary drivers for this growth will be new and compelling content, data services, price erosion for digital radio receivers, and digital radio provider partnerships with new car manufacturers. In the US, satellite radio is driving the digital radio market. In other markets, most notably in the UK, terrestrial digital audio broadcasting is driving it. The launch of Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) services in Japan and Korea, along with increased promotional activity in Singapore, Australia and Taiwan over the next year, will drive digital radio shipments in Asia. This recent report found the following: Roughly 600 US AM and FM stations will broadcast in HD Radio In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) HD Radio transmits the digital channels in unused portions of the same AM and FM channel. Because the IBOC method uses the same channels, radio stations can add the digital technology with relative ease. In comparison, deploying digital TV (DTV) is a far more costly and time-consuming venture. History iBiquity was formed in 2000 as a merger of Lucent spinoff Lucent Digital Radio and USA Digital Radio. technology by the end of 2005. The two US satellite radio providers have reported significant subscriber numbers; XM is on track to report over 6 million subscribers by the end of 2005, while Sirius will reach over 3 million subscribers. Commercial-free radio ranks as the top reason for purchasing a satellite radio, with 54% of surveyed satellite radio owners citing it. "Digital Radio: Turning Up the Volume on Satellite and Terrestrial Radio Adoption" includes analysis of major international digital radio markets, forecasts for US satellite radio subscribers, and for digital radio units sold worldwide through 2009, segmented by region. It also contains the results of a survey of US consumers on digital radio, along with profiles of digital radio IC vendors.
