worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, today announced that it has
again extended its leadership position as the premier provider of
professional graphics solutions. According to International Data
Corporation's (IDC) Worldwide Professional Graphics Update 2Q 2003, NVIDIA
increased its personal workstation market share to 73 per cent for both 2D
and 3D segments. IDC also found that NVIDIA demonstrated strength in the
professional 2D market, growing this business more than 2.5 times faster
than the overall 2D sector, to secure the segment lead with 53 per cent
market share.
"NVIDIA has had tremendous success marketing to professional graphics users
and has been able to grow its overall market share rapidly quarter over
quarter," said Lloyd Cohn, research director at IDC. "Workstation
manufacturers are increasingly incorporating third-party graphics solutions
into their product lines rather than building them in-house and NVIDIA's
remarkable ability to introduce innovative products in quick succession, its
continued expansion into relevant new sectors, and its strong investment in
ISV relationships makes it well-positioned to continue growing its
professional graphics business."
IDC's most recent professional graphics update, which provides an overview
of the workstation graphics market, analyses key changes, and reports
general trends for the quarter, found that:
* NVIDIA grew its overall professional graphics business 22 per cent,
maintaining its leadership position in 3D markets including entry,
mid-range, and high-end categories.
* NVIDIA's entry-level, NVIDIA Quadro FX 500, shipments increased 71 per
cent.
* NVIDIA captured 46 per cent of the total ultra high-end professional
market in only its second quarter competing in the segment with offerings
such as the NVIDIA Quadro FX 2000 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000.
