Quanta expected to ship 5 million all-in-one PCs in 2010
Global all-in-one PC shipments are expected to grow from 6.5 million units in 2009 to an estimated 10-13 million units in 2010 and Quanta Computer, while aiming to ship four million units, is expected to ship five million units and achieve the largest global market share, according to industry sources.
Taiwan-based Wistron and TPV-Inventa Technology, a joint venture between TPV Technology and Inventec, each aim to ship more than one million all-in-one PCs in 2010, the sources indicated.
The sources believe dropping prices of all-in-one PCs and Windows 7′s native support for touchscreen functionality will become the major drivers for shipment growth.
Quanta currently has Apple, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell, Lenovo, NEC and Asustek Computer as its all-in-one PC clients.
Meanwhile, Wistron, since acquiring Lite-On Technology’s display business, has gained an advantage over cost through vertical integration. The company currently has Lenovo and Acer as all-in-one PC clients.
Inventec’s all-in-one PC joint venture is speculated to have landed orders from HP, but a company spokesperson has declined to confirm the speculation, according to previous reports.
Compal Electronics is expected to focus on landing all-in-one PC orders from Dell, but its shipments for 2010 are expected to be lower than other players’.
