The new generation of MP3 players is the driving force behind the consumer electronics market

In 2006, the global supply of MP3 players amounted to 34 million units, according to a report from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). And if you believe the forecast of this organization, it turns out that about 90% of the volume of the 6 billion portable entertainment market will be fixed to MP3 players.

According to CEA's chief economist, Todd Thibodeaux, portable MP3 players are the most visible market drivers. And in the future, their offensive will only continue - users will begin to abandon outdated device models in favor of their fellows from the new generation, with video support.
