During 2005, combined shipment value for 14 major product categories shipped by the Taiwanese ICT industry is expected to run over US$70 billion, according to Market Intelligence Center (MIC), a Taipei-based ICT industry research house. Shipment value will receive a powerful boost from growth WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) shipment volume, which MIC projects will grow by over 70%. Other product categories are projected to witness stable growth for the year as well.
MIC estimates that aggregate shipment value for the 14 product categories totaled US$67,235 million in 2004, growth of 23% from 2003. Notebook PCs and monitors were two major engines behind the increase, which combined with other computing products such as motherboards and desktop PCs, comprised just over 77% of aggregate value at US$51.9 billion. Currently 72.1% of total shipment value for the major products is produced in China.
