Market Outlook for Digital Terrestrial TV

The worldwide DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) receiver market will grow from 65 million units in 2007 to more than 350 million units in 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 32 percent.

Approximately 85 percent of units shipped in 2007 support digital television and digital set-top box markets, while 15 percent comprises other consumer electronics or PC applications, according to ABI Research.

DTT infrastructure was first established in Japan (ISDB) and Korea (T-DMB) -- and as a result, DTT receiver penetration in Japan is about 23 percent, while 34 percent of Korean households employ systems with DTT receivers.

"By 2013, the DMB-T/H system in China will have about 100 million users," says Steve Wilson, principal analyst for ABI Research. "China's national DVB standard GB20600-2006, also known as DMB-T/H, supports both fixed and mobile television applications."

The rollout of digital video broadcast has arrived in time for the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, with service deployed in nearly 30 cities. In the United States, DTT receiver penetration will reach nearly 100 percent of TV households, as the last bastions of standard definition and analog cable convert.

Moreover, broadcasters will adopt a mobile standard using ATSC (Advanced Television Standards Committee) frequencies -- as Samsung and LG present solutions to the industry.

While MediaFLO and DVB-H based mobile TV solutions certainly are earlier to market, broadcasters own a huge piece of spectrum that may otherwise sit idle. Other mobile operators are receiving support from companies that develop silicon solutions for handsets that sustain analog television distribution, especially in countries where the transition to digital is not expected until well into the next decade.

All in all, concludes Wilson, "the market opportunity for digital terrestrial receivers spans many consumer electronics devices. Many of the world's digital TV standards support mobile and portable applications, and digital receivers are capable of delivering this signal at a fraction of the size and power of previous technologies."

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is

Credit Scoring Service Spending will Reach $44B

Credit scoring is a method that lenders use to predict the probability a borrower or counter-party will default on loans, or incur additional charges for repayment -- also known as measuring credit worthiness. The method is a key tool in making credit affordable for individuals and businesses. It links credit products to risk potential, connecting borrowers to secondary capital markets and increasing the amount of funds available. This securing process establishes risk predictability dependent on a number of factors, determined by financial indicators and other publicly available information reported by the credit bureaus. Credit Score Market Development According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, they now forecast credit scoring services will grow by 67 percent to $44 billion by 2028. Juniper anticipates that emerging markets will experience the greatest growth -- projecting the African & Middle Eastern region to grow by 117 percent over the forecast period

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve
