This releases covers quarterly revenue by region and product segment for all electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and original design manufacturing (ODM) companies in IDC's EMS database, from 1Q04 through 2Q08. The pivot table also provides updated market sizes for the two sectors of the EMS industry, nine product segments for each sector, and the three regions for each sector. For commentary on market, please refer to the forthcoming market briefing presentation. For further information on IDC's segmentation and definitions and for notes related to the data, refer to the appropriate worksheets within the excel file. All figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. This pivot table is structured into six variables: Company type: EMS or ODM Company name Year: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 (through the second quarter) Quarter: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Segmentation 1: Geographic or product segment revenue Segmentation 2: Geographic revenue: Americas, Europe, and Asia Product segment revenue: Computers, networking, peripherals, servers and storage, telecommunications, consumer devices, automotive, medical, and industrial To avoid double counting, when viewing the pivot table, it is critical to select either the geographic or product segment revenue option in the segmentation 1 variable; do not select "all."

The study also examines the key drivers from the supply and demand perspective to provide a five-year forecast covering the 2007–2012 timeframe. "This year, the worldwide dedicated foundry market will return to double-digit growth. IDC expects 3Q08 to have a seasonal growth effect that will boost 2008 growth, but possibly create the inventory issue into 2009. IDC expects a possible correction for the worldwide dedicated foundry in 2009. For the long term, growth of the worldwide dedicated foundry market is expected to grow at a 9.0% CAGR during our forecast period," says Patrick Liao, research manager, A/P Semiconductors, IDC. </description><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>国内 SCMソリューション市場 2007年の分析と 2008年～2012年の予測</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=J8390107</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=J8390107</guid><description>The content of this document was written in Japanese
