This research report presents shipment volume and value forecast and recent quarter review of the Greater China notebook PC industry. The report includes shipment volume and value, ASP, manufacturer volume ranking, shipment by assembly level, shipment by price point, and product mix analysis. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with notebook PC makers. The report finds that the Greater China notebook PC industry's shipment volume in the fourth quarter of 2014 continued to grow at a steadily pace at 6% compared to the previous quarter. This is mainly ascribed to seasonal promotions in Europe and United States and the ahead-of-schedule commercial replacement demand resulted from the end of support for Windows XP in 2014. With smartphones and tablets continuing to divert consumer spending, shipment volume of the Greater China notebook PC industry is projected to see the deepest decline ever in the first quarter of 2014 and pick up steadily in the second quarter of 2014 and onwards. And as brand orders are to become increasingly concentrated, the combined share of Quanta and Compal, two leading notebook PC contract manufacturers, is anticipated to rise to nearly 60% in 2014.

Meanwhile, a stronger economic backdrop will be conducive to growth in enterprise spending, with cloud services including SaaS, IaaS and PaaS expected to be among the areas of fastest growth. This will drive continued investment in data centre facilities by leading global vendors, as well as local telecoms operators and cloud services providers.

With our new subsector forecasts, it is ever more clear that Qatar's construction sector is performing well. We have increased our real growth estimations for 2013 and our medium-term forecasts. In 2014, we now forecast the industry will grow in real terms by 11.8% year-on-year, as the transport projects such as the Doha Metro and New Port Project take off. Over the longer term we expect the driver of growth to increasingly be the residential and non-residential sector, which will be able to leverage off improved infrastructure to cater for increased demand from a growing population and increased arrivals for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, the market has been under pressure on a number of fronts, with rising price inflation caused by materials shortages and worker safety featuring in the world's media. Constraints in the market are likely to decrease profit margins, owing to continuously rising construction costs.
