Retailers predict sale of Bluetooth headset to grow double of last year

Jabra estimates to reach 600,000 sets doub­ling last
year's sale. Following the trend of incorporating Bluetooth function as basic
accessory to mobile phones, retailers con­ser­vatively estimate that the sale
of Blue­tooth headsets will grow at least 30 percent this year comparing to
last year. Also, some Bluetooth component manufacturers, such as Jabra, predict
that the sale of Bluetooth head­set will reach 600,000 sets, which is twice as
much as last year's sale of 300,000 sets. The global shipment of Bluetooth pro­ducts
has grown 127 percent in 2005. It is estimated that the total shipment may reach
182 million in year 2010. Although there is a broad application of Bluetooth
components, the Bluetooth headset is still the most popu­lar Bluetooth
component. Given the recent drop of Bluetooth headset's price in Taiwan market,
the sale will grow substantially.
