300M Mobile HDMI-Enabled Source Devices by 2014

In-Stat study predicts explosive growth in the number of mobile source components for HDMI in the next several years.


New In-Stat research forecasts HDMI-enabled mobile PC shipments will surpass 300 million units in 2014, from mobile PCs to HD camcorders to digital still cameras.

The study confirms a trend that was prevalent at CEDIA Expo 2011 with mobile source devices. The trend is worrisome to CE pros who still derive much of their income from equipment markup.

“HDMI has made significant strides in mobile PCs over the past three years, since it has two big advantages in this market," says Brian O’Rourke, research director. “Its small size is a better fit for size-conscious mobile PC OEMs.

"In addition, HDMI’s popularity across the CE segment makes HDMI a popular choice, especially for consumer mobile PCs. Dell, Sony, HP, Acer, and Toshiba all feature HDMI in their consumer notebook lines. Netbooks are adopting HDMI as well, particularly higher-end devices that are marketed as media devices, so that they can connect to an HDTV.”

Other details from the report include:
  • Embedded DisplayPort will have a 35 percent attach rate in mobile PCs in 2013
  • 117 million LCD PC monitors will ship with DVI in 2011
  • HDMI will have an 82 percent attach rate in A/V receivers in 2012
  • Over 19 million HDMI-enabled digital camcorders will ship in 2014
