As the flow of content around the "digital home" evolves, a "fourth screen" market is beginning to take shape. Online media alone, however, will not provide the necessary fuel to drive this market. As other markets adapt to the same environmental influences, they engender new substitutive products (e.g. smart phones, small form factor computing devices, etc), which in effect diminish the value proposition for many fourth screen devices. Despite these hurdles, new opportunities such as energy monitoring, total home information management, and video calling will help differentiate these products. Should these opportunities come to fruition, ABI Research estimates that the consumer fourth screen market could exceed $10 billion by 2014. In this study ABI Research examines the dynamics and potential of the nascent fourth screen market. It includes forecasts for digital photo frames, media phones, and desktop Internet appliances within the North American, Asia-Pacific, European, and rest of the world markets for the years 2009 to 2014.
