Advanced Digital Lifestyle Research

Now in its tenth year, CONNECTIONS(TM) is the largest executive conference and showcase dedicated to advanced digital lifestyle solutions for residential and mobile environments. Recent research from Parks Associates points to significant growth opportunities within these industries in the coming years. Specifically, Parks Associates' analysts project the following:

-The number of broadband households with a residential gateway (RG) will reach 47 million by 2010, driven in large part by carrier needs to acquire and retain customers and build ARPU from new revenue-generating services.

-Television manufacturers will see a surge in cumulative HDTV sales over the next few years, which will boost the overall market value to $65 billion by 2009.

-The number of U.S. households with a networked storage device will grow from 300,000 at the end of 2004 to nearly 10 million by 2010.

-Cumulative shipments of portable multimedia players will top 13 million units by 2010.

-By the end of 2006, the worldwide digital music market (not counting mobile) will account for 4.5 percent of all music sales. Digital music revenues will grow at a 57 percent CAGR between 2005 and 2009.

-Revenues from premium VOD downloads will total $530 million at year-end 2009.

-Home builders sold $11 billion worth of technology products in 2004 and expect sales to increase 10-12 percent in 2005.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
