Report Highlights

 

In 2006, Taiwan's information industry was still growing rapidly.  Notebook computer, semiconductor, and flat-panel display are still the main segments.  The software industry is in full swing, while the information service industry is emerging.  A major percentage of Taiwanese IT enterprises are located in Hsinchu. AUO, Viatech, Asus, TSMC, and UMC are the pillar of the industry.

 

In 2006, the transfer of Taiwan's Information Industry to Mainland China was accelerated.  Most noted enterprises set up plants in the coastal areas in the southeast of Mainland China.  In 2007, Taiwan's information industry is expected to maintain fast growth, and the optoelectronics industry will be the fastest-growing sector.

 

In the face of evolving information technology and international competition situation, the 2006-2007 Annual Report on the Development of Taiwan's Information Industry helps vendors, investors and the industry chain grasp a full picture of Taiwan's information industry, and forecast its future development track more accurately.

 

With accurate industry data, the report depicts Taiwan's information industry in the dimension of industry size, technology capability, industry structure and regional distribution, to discern its development trend.

 

It conducts in-depth analysis of Taiwan's strong fields, i.e. semiconductor, flat-panel display, and notebook computer, highlighting its industry features.

 

Meanwhile, it examines policies for promoting the industry and discusses the role played by the government in the development of this sector. 

The report also looks into the industry development trend and conducts forecast of different industry segments to guide enterprises in making investment decision.
