"DECT is proving to be one of
the most successful wireless standards in the world. The system has been
adopted in over 110 countries worldwide and there are already over 50 million
DECT terminals on the market. 20 million terminals were sold in 1999 (up
over 52% on 1998 figures) and sales reaching 28 million are predicted for 2000"

Report published June 2000

Industry Statistics
The graphs of annual and cumulative shipments below are derived from
the latest figures released by the DECT Forum in December 2000. Perhaps
the most fascinating thing to the analysts here at DECTweb
is that the actual sales in 1999 and 2000 were 48.2million units, incredibly
close to the forecast of 50million given by the DECT Forum at the annual DECT
conference in January 1999, two years previously. Indeed, if the the
problems with chip supply during 2000 had not occurred sales in the period would
have exceeded their earlier forecast.

Detailed Market Breakdowns
For more information on the DECT markets, please see the excellent and comprehensive presentations
given by the officials of the DECT Forum at the DECT2000 and CeBIT2000
conferences, which contain a much more detailed breakdown by geographic region
and by product type and applications for the years up to and including
1999. We hope to bring you further information soon which will be
