China remains the biggest supplier of computer accessories worldwide, producing keyboards, mice, portable storage devices, speakers, headsets, microphones, cameras and peripherals. Output is expected to continue rising this year as demand picks up pace after dropping slightly in 2009 following the economic recession.
To sharpen their competitive edge amid export recovery, makers are turning out more models that meet buyers design and performance requirements. The laptop segment, in particular, is a major growth driver, especially for miniature PC speakers and locks.
Mice and keyboards utilize mature and emerging technologies. Among wireless standards, 27MHz and 2.4GHz RF and Bluetooth are adopted. The first two are mainstream, while the last is considered for the high end. Suppliers plan to release more non-corded units under efforts to broaden range and boost competitiveness. Wired versions, however, will continue to dominate output due to lower manufacturing costs and price. Adoption of the USB 3.0 specification, meanwhile, is not expected to rise for a few more years pending wider market acceptance.
Despite the generally positive outlook, some segments are still feeling the negative effects of the global downturn, and experiencing stiff competition and declining sales. To stay viable, these makers are focusing on models with higher performance-to-price ratio or shifting to more lucrative products.
The following are some of the key trends in Chinas computer accessories industry:
Prices rose slightly in past months as suppliers offset lower order volume and improved profit margins.
Fierce competition remains the biggest challenge confronting manufacturers, especially as some segments increasingly become saturated.
With the anticipated surge in overseas demand, export sales are expected to climb 10 to 20 percent.
The EU and North America are still the most important markets. Makers, however, will also be exploring alternative destinations such as South America.
Many companies will improve operating efficiency to boost export capability in months ahead.
Integrating value-added features tops R&D plans. Cosmetic design enhancements will also be a focus as suppliers introduce more products with ergonomic, sleek and innovative form factors.
This report covers the major types of computer accessories produced in China, which include input devices, portable storage, speakers, USB peripherals, headsets and microphones. The products are discussed in separate sections that detail common features and functions found in mainstream units. Prices, R&D trends and component sourcing are also included.
The Industry Overview section positions China in the worldwide market and discusses growth opportunities in coming months. It identifies the factors shaping the segment, including challenges faced by makers and steps taken to overcome these hurdles and boost competitiveness further.
The country's production base has an aggregate 2,200 companies. Guangdong province is the center of all manufacturing and sourcing activities. It has a complete supply chain covering solutions, components and services. A significant number of enterprises are also located in the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while a small percentage can be found in Hubei and Hunan provinces, and Beijing.
