(2) The corporate market is saturated, with weak growth potential. The home market has far greater potential for growth. (3)Desktop computers for the home market are being repositioned, with less emphasis on computing power and increased stress on their suitability for multimedia entertainment and digital home applications. This has spurred the closer integration of regular PCs with the digital images, video, audio, and data on home electronics equipment, sparking a new wave of rapid growth. (4) With the difficulty of achieving substantial growth in global demand for desktop computers, price competition has become an important weapon for maintaining or expanding market share. (5) Pricing pressures are increasing on brand vendors. Taiwan vendors' low-cost contract manufacturing capabilities have been much in their favor, with the proportion of manufacturing outsourced by major brand vendors continuing to rise. Shipments by Taiwan vendors are likely to benefit as a result. - 24 -
