Taiwan digital cameras – 2Q 2008

Staff writer

The US subprime woes and the natural disasters in China continued to dampen demand in the digital compact camera (DSC) market in the second quarter of 2008. The sizes of orders from some clients were not as big as what Taiwan makers had expected. Although the delivery of shipments delayed from the first quarter managed to drive up second-quarter shipments sequentially, the growth was much lower than the 31% that Digitimes Research had previously predicted.
