Worldwide smartphone chip revenue to grow 21% CAGR during 2009-2015

In Stat has forecasted the worldwide smartphone processor chip revenue will have a CAGR of nearly 21% from 2009-2015.

Recent In-Stat research found:
Over 60 semiconductor companies worldwide produce semiconductor components for mobile phones.
Total handset semiconductor content will surpass $81 billion in 2015.
Pico projector revenue is forecast to grow at an amazing rate of 163% over the forecast period.
Smartphones are expected to make up 45.3% of all handsets shipped in 2015.
Semiconductor revenue associated with accelerometers and/or gyros will exceed $300 million by 2014.

"In the last 10 years, smartphones and phones in general have created a multi-billion-dollar business where one did not exist before," says Allen Nogee, Research Director. "This business has enticed almost all the semiconductor players on the planet, both large and small, to produce components that enable mobile devices in ways we couldn't have imagined just 10 years ago. The next 10 years will not see changes quite as dramatic as those in the last 10 years, but that isn't to say the evolution of the handset won't continue at a fast pace. It will."
