Abstract

This report presents forecast and recent quarter review of Smartphone shipment volume, shipment value, and APS, and analyzes manufacturer volume rankings, shipment by maker, and price trends. Also provided are shipment breakdowns by system technology, operating systems, display, embedded Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS, and examines production locations, shipment destinations, and customer portfolios. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with Smartphone makers. The report finds that the Taiwanese Smartphone industry's shipment volume and value both scored double-digit sequential and year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to the surging demand for Apple iPhones including iPhone 4S which were contract manufactured by Taiwanese makers. The industry's shipment volume and value growth rates are expected to have slowed in the first quarter of 2012. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that the industry will see its shipment volume and value bounce back in the second quarter of 2012 and grow steadily throughout the second half of 2012.
