Market Overview
China IT market in FY2003/04 Q1 was impacted by SARS outbreak– Corporate IT market was affected heavily
• Business trips and promotion activities were restricted
• Government focused on fighting SARS
• School classes were suspended in some regions
– Retail market (PC, handset and digital products stores) in epidemic regions was seriously impacted during April and May
China IT market continues to demonstrate great potential, PC unit shipment in April to June quarter is estimated to grow 10% YoY
– SARS outbreak promoted IT applications, hence stimulated the sales of consumer PC, especially PC for schooling
– 4 to 6 tier market maintains fast growth, yet lowered configurations and average selling price
Intensified competition in handset market continued, product upgrading time shortened
– B/W screen handset inventory reduction caused more price pressure and lowered average profit level
