Touch screens get into laptops slower than the Manufacturer. In the current quarter share of laptops with touch screen will be equal to 5-6% of the total supply. In the second quarter, due to the release of new models, it will increase, but will not exceed 10%. This forecast gives the source, based on information received from members of the supply chain components.
Notebook market is suffering from a slowdown in the world economy, the lack of touch panels and the lack of consumer interest in Windows 8.
The head of Acer, the yield rate of panels of medium and large size remains low - at the level of 30-40%. It does not give a price lower, pushing potential buyers.
It is surprising that this has not stopped tablets, entirely equipped with touch screens. By the way, it is expected that the supply of tablets, reached last year, 100 million units this year to grow to 200 million units.Given the forecast growth in the supply of smart phones with 700 million units to 900 million units, we can conclude that the manufacturer has simply not up to the larger touch screens. Meanwhile, touch screens are becoming standard equipment monoblock PC.
Overall, in 2013 the proportion of sensory laptops hardly be over 10-15% of the total supply, well below the forecast of some laptop manufacturers assume that the share will be equal to touch laptops 30-40%. Recall, the company Lenovo plans to the end of the year to bring the share of PCs equipped with touch screens, up to 40-60% . In fairness, we note that other forecasts only one in five will get a laptop touch screen in 2013.However, it is still more than the current estimate of 10-15%.
