The exports of electronic products from different Asian countries grew signicantly in March,
with most products experiencing double digit percentage growth on both an annual and a sequential basis, according to different market research companies of the world over.
Total cell phone exports in March this year reached 61 million units, up 54 percent from April last year and up 52 percent from the same period in 2009. Notebook exports in March this year grew to 14 million units, up 32 percent sequentially and rising 50 percent from a year earlier. The export market for different Asian countries' Liquid Crystal Display Televisions (LCDTV) increased by 31 percent to 3.4 million units compared to April, and by 56 percent compared to March 2009.
Nearly all global leading electronics manufacturers—including OEMs, Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs)—have their facilities in grown in the Asian countries today apart from the countries very own local brands. Because the majority of electronic products made in countries like China, Japan and Korea etc. are destined for shipping to other countries, those countries' export market is closely linked with the dynamics of the global electronics market.
Following the strong increase in March, however, export growth went flat in April this year, and exports are expected to decline in May as major electronics manufacturers begin to adjust production plans to prevent inventory build-up. Just the same, the world's market research companies believe that export market of these Asian countries of the likes of China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea etc. will regain momentum in June and continue to increase throughout the third quarter, driven by back to school demand and the holiday season.
The increasing cell phone export shipments of different Asian countries' leading OEMs and EMS vendors in March this year are in line with the recovering global demand for handsets, with demand for low-priced multimedia phones continuing to be quite strong in emerging markets such as the Middle East, South America and Africa. Furthermore, the smart phone markets in North America and Europe are expected to keep growing in 2010 and beyond.
Nokia Corp. was the largest cell phone maker in now in China, Japan, Korea etc. with 11 million units exported in March this year alone, followed by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group.
Notebook PCs in 2010 will post a solid double-digit-percentage growth due to improved economic conditions worldwide as well as the expected expansion of two high-achieving segments—netbooks and Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) notebooks—according to world market research companies. Global notebook PC shipments will hit 209.5 million units in 2010, up a robust 25.5 percent from 166.9 million in 2009.
As the world's top television manufacturer, China, Japan and Korea will produce an estimated 95.5 million television sets in 2010, up 11.3 percent from 85.8 million in 2009 when the country accounted for 42 percent of total global TV shipments.
