Abstract
Technology upgrades and business integration in the global ICT industry,
coupled with the emergence of integration between home entertainment products
and application services, have led to a steady growth in the ICT market
despite some adverse factors; in particular, PC and data communications
products are growing steadily; meanwhile, pressured by a slump in consumer
spending and inventory build-up in the second half of 2008, shipments of
consumer electronics, mobile communications, and panel products are expected
to be affected.
The key trends of the global ICT industry in 2008 and 2009 will focus on the
development of low-price, smart, and stylish products; ICT vendors-future
development will hinge on several factors such as cost reductions (key
component cost reductions), eco-friendly initiatives (using alternatives for
pollution reductions) , flexible assembly and production capabilities, and
efficient logistics systems.
