The China Economic News (CENS) observes Taiwan companies provide over 90% of the world's notebook computers. CENS writes:
Taiwan`s notebook PC manufacturing sector supplied over 90%, or 25.33 million units, of notebook PCs sold in the world in the second quarter of this year, up 4.5% from a quarter earlier and 42% from a year earlier, according to statistics compiled by IDC (International Data Corp.)
In the second quarter, the sector also generated production value of NT$14.81 billion, up 38.5% from a year earlier, with Quanta Computer Inc., Compal Electronics Inc., Wistron Corp., Inventec Corp. and Pegatron Corp. as top five companies in the line.
IDC noted that Intel`s decision to postpone launch of its newest platform Centrino 2 and inflation crunch in some countries of the world caused consumer demand for notebook PCs to languish in the second quarter. Consequently, Taiwanese notebook PC makers` shipment performance was lower than expected by market observers.
What is astounding is the 42% year-on-year growth. Although the quarterly growth was a marginal 4.5% growth, the yearly growth is amazing considering the current state of the global economy.
