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 although economic growth slowed down in Europe and North America and HDD shortages caused by Thailand's severe flooding , the worldwide motherboard shipment volume still managed to witness both year-on-year and sequential growth in the third quarter of 2011. However, it is projected that branded vendors' shipment in the fourth quarter of 2011 will be affected by the inventory stockpiles at the distribution-end resulting from the skyrocketing HDD prices. In spite of the fact that the HDD shortages will gradually be alleviated beginning in the first quarter of 2012, the labor shortages will then take place in the first quarter of 2012 and therefore it is forecasted that the industry will only begin to see the production capacity resume and the shipment volume rebound in the second quarter of 2012.
