A Review of Compal Communications, the Largest ODM Provider in the Taiwanese Mobile Phone Industry.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31195) has announced the addition of Compal Communications' Mobile Phone ODM Business to their offering.

With global demand for handsets starting to slow, in the future emerging markets will constitute the main source of first-purchase demand. A holistic approach to global marketing therefore now occupies an important place within the market development strategies of the leading international handset vendors. At the same time, under heavy pressure to secure market position and cut production costs, the leading vendors have begun to outsource a larger share of their handset production and leverage the global logistics capabilities of handset assembly providers. In light of the growing role of both ODMs and EMS providers in the global mobile phone value chain, this report will examine the capabilities built up by Compal Communications, the Taiwanese mobile phone industry's largest ODM.
