USB shipped in more than three billion devices in 2008, including the PC, PC Peripheral, Consumer Electronics (CE), Communications, and Automotive segments. By 2013, the number of wired USB-enabled devices shipped will exceed four billion.

While high-speed USB shipments currently dominate, new 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB products will hit the store shelves by the end of 2009. Initially, SuperSpeed USB will be found in PCs and storage devices. However, soon SuperSpeed USB will also be found in portable devices with increasing amounts of storage capacity, including digital still cameras, digital camcorders, portable media players, and high-end mobile phones. SuperSpeed will greatly speed the downloading of data from these devices.

This report contains five-year annual forecasts for the penetration of all types of wired USB, including low-/full-speed, high-speed, and SuperSpeed USB into 46 separate applications. Five-year annual forecasts for average selling prices for USB host controllers, peripheral controllers, and hub controllers broken down by USB type are also provided, in addition to brief profiles of major USB silicon and IP suppliers.
