Abstract
This research report presents shipment volume forecast and recent quarter
review of IP STB shipment volume, value and ASP, manufacturer volume ranking,
shipment by maker. The report also provides shipment by technology and
function; examines price trends, production locations, shipment destinations,
business types, and customer portfolios. The content of this report is based
on primary data obtained through interviews with IP STB makers. The report
finds that in the first quarter of 2008, Taiwanese IP STB shipment volume
scored significant year-on-year growth. Shipment volume of midrange and
high-end models saw steady growth as well. Nevertheless, ASP declined with the
expansion of the overall shipment volume and the lowering of requirements for
STB specifications.
