Ten Trends of China's ICT Market in 2008
added: 2007-12-27

The integration ability of the industrial ecosystem becomes the core of competitive strength. As the ICT markets continue to merge and as demands continue to change, enterprises and industrial chains will find it increasingly difficult to maintain their competitive strengths.

The ICT industry's aim will primarily be to improve the industrial chain, integrate the industrial ecological resources, and innovate and change business models. Only through the restructuring of the industrial chain, the inclusion of affiliated enterprises focusing on similar or related services, and with end- users able to receive products and services, can a fully harmonious industrial ecosystem be realized.

By integrating industrial chains, enterprises and users, the ICT market can rely on their organic relationship to convert an isolated linear system into a double-win closed-loop system, creating a circled sustainable industrial ecosystem. This would thus form a new competitive strength.

High-performance computing leads to high-performance services, which speed up the popularization of business applications

From the clusters, virtualization and new cloud computing to Server Farm 2.0, we are approaching the use of high-performance computing. With this breakthrough, high-performance computing will evolve into high-performance services. Based on the Internet's complex computing model, high-performance computing could bring about automatic management, automatic equalization, automatic restoration, uniform system image and real-time monitoring so as to broadly reduce the complexity and usability of IT management.

The 2008 Olympic Games speeds up developments in mobile communications, NGN, wireless access, digital TV, semiconductor lighting and RFID

A high-tech Olympic Games will provide great opportunities for Mobile, NGN, wireless access, digital TV, semiconductor lighting and RFID. These opportunities would include the use of mobile communications based on 3.5G; NGN based on IPv6; WLAN/WiMAX that realizes seamless and wireless network; bidirectional wired digital TVs; LEDs with energy-saving, environmental protection and long service life characteristics; and RFID, which is widely applied in electronic ticketing, IDs, safety tracing systems, food safety monitoring and assets management.

A favorable business opportunity is presented to local mobile phone manufacturers as 3.5G begins

The establishment of China 3G begins directly with 3.5G, symbolizing that China's mobile terminal begins with 3.5G. To this end, it is a favorable business opportunity to local mobile manufacturers. On one hand, it can be by virtue of the alternate of standards to remain synchronous even when ahead of international manufacturers. On the other hand, 3G operators must increase a customized scale to enable local manufacturers to use an opportunity to change a competitive weakness.

Based on its magnification and rapid transmission, 3G network bandwidth has broadened its data services in video and multimedia applications. Because the degree of recognition and acceptance by consumers of data services is lower, the operators must customize a mobile promotion to drive its service development. With the expansion of the scale of customization, operators' customized services have transferred from brand image customization to an in- depth customized model. Operators also require terminal manufacturers to modify R&D and design mobile phones. China's manufacturers expect to get a bigger market share in this process. However, "survival of the fittest" and brand centralization are ineluctable trends.

Growth in IC market becomes difficult to maintain

It is difficult for China's future IC market to present a growth rate over 30%, as fewer international electronics production are transferred to China, and that the output of China's units becomes saturated after a rapid growth for years even if they have a certain growth rate, and the fall of IC price will also influence the future IC market.

The IC industry is less mature than traditional industries, but it isn't a new industry and market, so it grows slowly as compared to the whole electronic industry. The fluctuant development of periodicity reserves everlastingly, but the future fluctuation will become lower and lower. In a word, IC industry becomes more mature.

Implementation of e-commerce in traditional industries will reshape current business structure

If the coming of the Internet undermined the power of traditional media for the first time, in the future it will infiltrate the traditional industry to break down the current operating value of more enterprises within a wider range. The Internet will be embedded in the business chains and change their external business model and internal support model via e-commerce.

Netsun is publicly listed in the market to draw the attention of the industry, and to urge the blending between traditional industry and e-commerce. The revolution and platform expansion of Alibaba makes e-commerce a new topic of B2B. Moreover B2B combines with the industry to change a role of e-commerce platform, and offer opportunities of mode development to the e-commerce.
