After enduring major demand fluctuations in China during the first half of 2003, in the third quarter Taiwanese mobile phone makers received contracts for mid-range GPRS handsets from Motorola, Siemens, and Panasonic. Additional push was provided by aggressive development of branded business in the Taiwanese and Chinese markets, helping the Taiwanese industry shake off the impact of SARS and Chinese inventory pile-ups. The growing emphasis on GPRS, color display, and camera modules in the Taiwanese mobile phone industry has led to an increased level of concentration in the baseband, transceiver, and power amplifier market. The intensity of competition is particularly high in the transceiver market, resulting in major transceiver supplier ranking shifts. Meanwhile, brand-name vendors, faced with growing product segmentation, are honing product and outsourcing strategies tailored to their own R&D competencies and market objectives.
