The Worldwide Communications Equipment Assembly Market

The report begins with an analysis of the 2005 communications equipment revenue of the world's top communications OEMs. The revenues for each OEM are detailed in a matrix of nine product segments and three regions. Regional revenue is presented on a “where sold” basis.

This OEM analysis then switches to an analysis of global communications equipment production in 2005. COGS for the top OEMs are detailed by the same nine product categories and three regions as provided for revenue. Regional COGS is given on a “where assembled” basis. The COGS data also includes a breakdown between outsourced and in-house manufacturing by OEM, product, and region.

Using the 2005 analysis as the baseline, the report next presents COGS forecasts for 2006 through 2010 by product segment, region, and outsourced versus in-house manufacturing. As the fortunes of individual companies are much too complex to predict, forecasts are not provided for individual OEMs.

Finally, the report presents profiles of the 49 OEMs used in the analysis. Each profile contains a brief qualitative analysis of the company’s operations, accompanied by a table containing the quantitative data.
