VDC Research currently has a research program called “STRATEGIC INSIGHTS 2012: EMBEDDED HARDWARE & SYSTEMS” where they analyze potential opportunities and give forecasts for embedded systems market through 2016.
Some recent insights from their ongoing coverage of the Embedded Hardware & Systems market include:
- The Communications / Networking market is engaged in a period of dynamic change that is redefining the sector’s processing requirements.
- FPGAs & Linux are redefining embedded market growth requirements.
- The smart grid is creating new opportunities for embedded processors.
- Single board computers are enabling next-generation computing for military / aerospace applications.
- The Institute for Supply Management’s PMI index continues to demonstrate isolated pockets of regional growth, suggesting that new project starts and sustained unit shipments will maintain embedded market growth in 2012.
The final reports should be available in 2012 as follows:
