The Infrared Data Association (IrDA?) releases its worldwide market report for infrared enabled products
Walnut Creek, CA., October 17, 2003 - The Infrared Data Association (IrDA - www.irda.org) announced the immediate availability of the new edition of the Worldwide Market of Infrared Enabled Products Report. This report provides detailed information specifically on IrDA enabled products such as PDAs, PCs, Notebook Computers, Mobile Phones, Printers, and Digital Cameras.
Vital statistics on annual and cumulative shipments of products by specific applications are listed in the report, which clearly defines activity and use by geographic area. Most importantly, it reports on shipments by types of IrDA ports, growth estimate forecasts and new application sectors. The report is essential for industry professionals to identify and prioritize market opportunities, and to target and strategize future product requirements.
The market report is an overview of the IrDA market as a whole and is not focused on vendor comparisons. A copy can be ordered by contacting rebecca@irda.org.
The report substantiates the rapid global proliferation and adoption of the IrDA port. Of the 500 million IrDA products shipped nearly 50% are cell phones. IrDA cell phone implementations have been growing steadily at an annual rate of 15 to 20%. With the recent completion of version 1.0 of the Infrared Financial Messaging (IrFM) Point and Pay Specification, the demand for IrDA products is set to increase substantially.
This wireless proximity payment standard enables a 2-way electronic payment application at the point of sale, and utilizes existing financial services infrastructures to process the transactions. Data for the report was generated with input from the leading manufacturers of infrared transceivers.
