Abstract

Due to shifts in supply-chain strategies of major brands in 2005, share of full-system and barebone shipments dramatically increased. Under fierce price competition, several makers were forced to withdraw from the motherboard contract manufacturing industry, while other makers decided to merge with others to enhance their assembly capabilities. Profit margins of second-tier makers, which focused on clone markets, declined and these makers were forced to transform their businesses. This report will examine major developments in the Greater Chinese motherboard industry in 2005 and provide an industry forecast for 2006.
