Abstract

This research report presents industry size and value forecast and recent quarter review of the worldwide motherboard industry. The report includes shipment volume and value, shipment breakdowns by maker, ASP, and price trends. The report also examines manufacturer rankings, assembly levels, CPU connector adoption, production locations, shipment destinations, and business types, and provides assembly level breakdown for CPU types, production locations, shipment destinations, and business types. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with motherboard makers. The report finds that the worldwide motherboard shipment volume peaked in the third quarter, mainly boosted by growth momentum in the Chinese market. Nevertheless, the Chinese market is expected to see demand decline in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, in Western Europe and North America, as notebook PC demand has outgrown desktop PC demand, the desktop replacement effect is expected to eclipse the holiday demand at the year-end. As shipment volume of low-priced motherboards is expected to continue growing, the fourth-quarter motherboard ASP is forecasted to slip. Affected by shipment volume and ASP declines, the worldwide motherboard shipment value is projected to drop in the fourth quarter of 2009.
