Rapid Growth Expected

According to global market intelligence company, IDC (a subsidiary of Framingham, Mass.-based International Data Group), global shipments of digital photo frames, which were 2.8 million units in 2006, with an average selling price of US$168, are expected to grow to more than 42 million units by 2011, with USA shipments representing 54% of the market at that time.

According to IDC, the 5 inch to 6.9 inch frame size category made up the bulk of the market in 2006, but the 7 inch to 8.9 inch frame size category should maintain the top spot in the market throughout 2011. IDC also said that digital frame prices will be a major purchase influencer as overall worldwide prices decline an average of 16.5% from 2006 to 2011.
