The economic downturn has had a slight impact on shipments of USB-enabled devices. Market research firm In-Stat believes next-gen Superspeed technology (USB 3.0) will provide the necessary impetus to the sale of USB-enabled devices. The actual rate of growth will hinge on how quickly Superspeed technology replaces its predecessor in PC peripherals and consumer electronics.
"All PCs, and most PC peripherals have transitioned from full-speed to high-speed. Most of these devices will eventually transition to SuperSpeed, the only issue is the speed of the transition," said Brian O’Rouke, an analyst with In-Stat. As per In-Stat’s prognosis, Superspeed USB 3.0 devices will capture 25% of the USB market by 2013, with USB-enabled computer mice persisting as the most populous USB-enabled device category.
