DUBLIN, Ireland, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/) has announced the addition of The Taiwanese Digital Camera Industry, 1H 2004 and Beyond to their offering. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040820/RESEARCH ) The shipment volume of the Taiwanese digital camera industry continued to increase in the first half of 2004, but at a slower rate than before. The first and second quarters have traditionally been the industry's slack season. With brand-name vendors focusing on inventory clearance, the Taiwanese shipment volume consequently declined. The second half of the year, however, is the peak season for consumer electronics sales. It is anticipated that in the second half of 2004, the leading digital camera vendors' inventory levels will fall, resulting in an increase in orders and a consequent rise in shipment volume for Taiwanese digital camera makers. Shipment volume for ODM/OEM businesses will peak in August, September and October, bringing volume gains to both the third and fourth quarters of 2004.List of TopicsForecasts for 3Q 2004 and 4Q 2004; review of 1H 2004 shipment volume, value, ASP; product mix including resolution, sensor types, optical zoom ratios, display panels, video imaging; production locations, shipment destinations, and business types.
