Netbook shipments will reach 60 million this year

According to the latest forecast of market research company ABI Research, this year's global netbook shipments will reach 60 million, and this number will double by 2013. Since the advent of 2008, the growth rate of netbook shipments has not been Less, showing a good momentum. ABI Research expects that the momentum of the Internet will slow down in 2014-2015.

With the growing maturity of the netbook market, the share of various manufacturers is also changing. Acer and Asustek also accounted for a third of the market share in 2008, and now 78% of the share is shared by other manufacturers.

Analyst Jeff Orr said that now it seems that only Acer has maintained a good momentum, but more manufacturers have begun to attack it. Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Lenovo both increased their netbook share in 2009, while Samsung’s share dropped by several percentage points. .

Many manufacturers have used the Internet as their breakthrough point to enter the PC market. Gigabyte is an example, but the latter’s share dropped to less than 0.1% in 2009, which makes it possible to rethink its strategy.

Consumers' enthusiasm for netbooks has not subsided, and their focus is still on the price of netbooks, not on performance. Netbooks will not replace notebooks. Consumers will only use them as complementary PCs. Education market price will become another growth of netbooks. Power will show considerable growth in the coming years.
