Opportunities for Emerging Digital Media

In their latest report, Research and Markets predicts that Video on Demand (VoD) services will reach 350 million homes across the world by 2010.

Citing the convergence of telecoms, media and IT, the research firm says in a statement that "broadband TV (IPTV), Digital and Personal Video Recorders (DVR or PVR) and Video-on-Demand (VoD), are a few of the prominent services which promise fresh opportunities for emerging digital media companies." The report also predicts that by 2015, 90 percent of "all households in the developed market will have a home media center."

"Despite some governments mandating broadcast digital TV in its various forms, there is little evidence of a rush by consumers to buy it," the statement from the firm reads. "Instead they are more interested in new services such as provided by Internet, online services, pay-per-view and on-demand services."

Semiconductor Economics Rewritten by AI Demand

Semiconductor forecasts rarely move enough to reshape an enterprise boardroom budget conversation. Omdia's latest worldwide market study findings does exactly that. The research firm has raised its 2026 global semiconductor revenue forecast to 94.1 percent year-over-year growth, an increase driven almost entirely by memory pricing tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure. For technology executives, the number itself matters less than what sits underneath it. Applied-AI demand has now outrun the industry's capacity to produce and package the chips it needs, and Omdia expects that imbalance to persist through early 2027. The Semiconductor Forecast Revision Memory integrated circuits, DRAM and NAND combined, are now projected to account for more than 50 percent of total semiconductor revenue in 2026. That threshold has rarely been crossed in the industry's history. It marks a structural shift in where chip economics get decided. Logic used to set the pace of the industr...
