How did the Top10 ODMs do in 2007 Revenue Performance?
During 2007 – and on an absolute dollar basis – the ODMs outpaced the EMS segment by $2 billion, a 31% increase, states iSuppli’s Daniel Hawtof - VP, Performance Research, iSuppli, speaking at the ZVEI PCB EMS Conference.
However, several ODM companies – including Lite-On, TPV Technology – were affected by supply chain disruptions (e.g. fires). And, and another interesting side note, several pure-play wireless ODMs (including Compal Communications) are shifting strategies to address Motorola’s unknown future and divestitures/subsidiary formation continues to be used by ODMs (Asustek) looking to mitigate channel conflict (Apple, Sony), he continues.
Overall, the market researcher sees that computer-related shipments continued to power most of the top ten ODM providers during 2007.
