Abstract
This research report presents Taiwanese server motherboard shipment volume and
value forecast and recent quarter review of the Taiwanese server motherboard
industry. The report includes server motherboard shipment volume, shipment
value, ASP, volume and share by maker and by price point, and manufacturer
volume ranking. Also includes shipment by CPU architecture and CPU count.
Production locations, shipment destinations, business types, and customer
portfolios are also examined. The content of this report is based on primary
data obtained through interviews with server motherboard makers. In the second
quarter of 2008 the industry as a whole experienced slight shipment growth.
However, concentration is high, and some second-tier makers are switching to
sectors with higher added value such as IPC (Industrial PC). Energy-saving
products have become a focus area of the server industry, and these products
also represent new possible market opportunities for Taiwanese manufacturers.
