China Touch Screen Industry Report, 2010


China Touch Screen Industry Report, 2010

In 2008, there were 300 models of mobile phone with touch screen in China; by the end of 2009, the figure rose to 700 models. Mobile phone subscribers paid more and more attention to touch screen mobile phones, from 21.9% in January 2009 to 43.2% in December.
Fueled by the demand for mobile phones and PND, the market scale of small-sized touch screen market, particularly small-sized projected capacitive touch screen, will expand greatly in China in 2010.
In the touch screen industry chain, Chinese enterprises are mostly converged in the middle and downstream. Shenzhen Laibao Hi-Tech is in the middle stream, with high profitability.
Shenzhen Laibao Hi-Tech is a manufacturer of liquid crystal materials in China. It develops the ITO coating technology independently which all of its business is based on, like ITO conductive glass, color filter, TFT empty box. ITO conductive glass of the company is the upstream product of LCD and touch screen industry, contributing 40% to its main business revenue, 40% – 50% to gross profit margin. In addition, the company’s resistive touch screen project will put into production at the end of 2010, with the designed annual output of 460,000 pieces; and it is probable to develop towards capacitive touch screens in the future.
Young Fast Optoelectronics masters the R&D, design and mass-production of small- and medium-sized touch panels (1.2 to 12 inches). Its shipment accounts for about 16% of the global shipment, and its sales value takes approximately 11%. Like the giant Nissha in Japan, Young Fast Optoelectronics is a leading large touch panel manufacturer. Also, Young Fast Optoelectronics is one of several enterprises that can provide world-class small- and medium-sized flat resistive touch panels. Last year, benefiting from the increasing demand for mobile phone touch panels, Young Fast Optoelectronics gained considerable revenue reaching NT$6.84 billion, nine times that in the previous year; the after-tax profit got to NT$1.16 billion.
