iPod Accessory Boom Boosts Far East Companies
Monday, May 15th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Global Sources has issued a research report in which it said that iPod accessory manufacturers in China and Taiwan will likely produce more than US$104 million worth of iPod and related audio accessories this year, up 37% over 2005. That breaks down to $33 million for Chinese manufacturers and $71 million for Taiwanese firms.
In a press release, report publisher Mark Saunderson noted: "The iPod phenomenon has created plenty of opportunities for accessory manufacturers. At least 50 new suppliers are ready to begin production this year in Taiwan and mainland China alone."
His report covers 28 of the top iPod accessory makers in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as specific information on 87 of the top-selling products. The report sells for $495. The link originally provided by Global Sources points to a report from last December; iPodObserver.com has contacted the company for a current link.
