Taiwan’s xDSL equipment – 1Q 2005

With an over 80% share of the fast-growing worldwide xDSL market, Taiwan makers’ shipments in the first quarter of 2005 reached 9.38 million units, registering a higher growth rate than the world’s average. However, the growth in volume did not translate into value increases because of fierce pricing campaigns. The first-quarter production value dropped US$8.2 million sequentially to US$299 million.
