ZigBee and 802.15.4 Wireless Chipset Shipments to Reach 2.5 Billion by 2020, Led by Smart Home Market
Smart home applications expected to utilize over two-thirds of the IEEE 802.15.4 chipsets
SAN DIEGO — Annual shipments of IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee wireless chipsets doubled last year and are forecast to reach a cumulative 2.5 billion chipset sales within the next five years, according to a report from global technology research firm ON World. The smart home market is expected to utilize over two-thirds of the IEEE 802.15.4 chipsets at this time.
“Growth for ZigBee solutions has accelerated over the last two years with smart home and smart lighting experiencing exponential growth,” said Mareca Hatler, ON World’s research director.
