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 shipment volume in the third quarter of 2008
increased sequentially due to the industry' s anticipation of the peak season.
However, demand in the third quarter was relatively weak, creating inventories
and affecting the shipment outlook for the fourth quarter of 2008.
