Worldwide shipments of digital photo frames will reach 25 million units by the end of 2009, and grow to 50 million units by 2013 due to affordable price points, consumer demand for multimedia support, Internet connectivity, and the market’s "gift-giving" status. The digital photo frame market has segmented based on functionality. Single-function frames only display photos. Multimedia frames display digital photos and support a variety of music and video formats. Advanced digital photo frames support image, music and video playback, but also incorporate wireless Internet connectivity. Internet connectivity will be a key differentiator for digital photo frame manufacturers, and these companies now have a number of wireless options to choose from.

This report provides a specific forecast on the Wi-Fi vs. cellular opportunity. It also offers a comprehensive view of digital photo frame shipments, revenue, average selling prices, and expectations for connected digital photo frames. A bill-of-materials analysis and silicon revenue opportunity is also included.
