The Chinese mainland and China's Taiwan exported over 207 million 2.5G and 3G
phones in 2005 -- 28 percent of the world total, according to Global Sources'
China Sourcing Report: "2.5G & 3G Phones."
The report, released on Wednesday, indicates that buyers sourcing 2.5G and 3G
phones from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan can expect increased supply and more
value-added models in the coming months. Findings are based on in-depth
manufacturer interviews, factory visits and surveys.
Report publisher Mark Saunderson said: "Surveyed makers in the Chinese
mainland expect to increase output by an average of 44 percent this year."
The Chinese mainland's manufacturers are focusing on midrange and high-end
mobile phones to grab a bigger share of overseas markets, said the report.
Taiwan makers will continue to emphasize feature-rich models as they cater to
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM)
buyers.
The 90-page report includes detailed profiles of 24 Chinese mainland and
Taiwan manufacturers and features a product gallery with 59 top-selling export
models. It also includes production and pricing forecasts as well as in-depth
reports on major supply centers.
