Abstract
HandsFree regulations and auto manufacturers are helping to drive the movement toward the safety and convenience of cordless headsets. So far, the emphasis has been on mono headsets used for mobile phones, and rightly so, considering that handsets present such a large opportunity for headsets. The emerging headsets, or headphones, that are just about to begin making splashes in retail are stereo headphones for listening to music, as well as for receiving/making phone calls.
 
 We expect the Bluetooth chipset market to slightly more than double from 2003 to 2004, to 146 million units. This is directly following a year when the market almost doubled, from 2002 to 2003. This Bluetooth market report provides forecasts for manufactured Bluetooth-enabled equipment and semiconductor shipments by detailed application. The Bluetooth forecast for radio, baseband, and host-supported silicon solutions is presented, as well as semiconductor shipments by HCI breakout, geographic region shipments and design wins, shipments by Class 1 vs. Class 2/3, and application segmentations for Class 1. Years 2001 - 2008 are provided. Also included are consumer survey results from our US-based panel, and from a US residential telephone survey.
