The Merchant Embedded Computing Market 2016 Edition - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Merchant Embedded Computing Market 2016 Edition" report to their offering.

Total revenue was nearly $7 billion in 2015, an increase of $2 billion since our last report of 2013. With the worldwide electronics manufacturing market again thriving, the MEC industry is projected to grow at 5.5 percent through 2020 to approximately $9.1 billion.

The Merchant Embedded Computing Market - 2016 Edition report analyzes the performance of the industry from 2007 - 2020. Although there are several hundred companies, most are fairly small in revenue and highly specialized, focusing on specific application segments with unique product requirements.

The report tracks and analyzes five application markets, nine bus architectures and four board functions. Specific trends and issues of the forecast by application, bus architecture and board function are covered in detail in the report. The overall MEC market has fully recovered from the trauma of 2008/2009 economic meltdown and the performance of various market segments, bus architectures, and companies are continuing to find new applications.

The MEC report targets five specific application markets: Communications, Industrial, Medical, Military/Aerospace and All Other categories that includes transportation, security, surveillance, point-of-sale/kiosk applications, etc. The Communication wireless segment is being driven by the exploding smart phone and tablet traffic and the four billion devices connected tothe internet. 3G/4G services are where the money is for carriers going forward and the wireline and optical networks are gearing up for upgrades to support the ever increasing traffic.

he Medical segment was hit hard by the healthcare cutbacks but new applications are emerging in diagnostic imaging and surgical hardware. The usually healthy Military/Aerospace segment is now facing arapidly declining defense department budget in the USA. Counter to this, the military is trying to use more and more electronics for the Internet enabled soldier and robotic weapons.
