China's consumer electronic industry to hit $94 billion

In 2003, unit sales of ICs for digital consumer products grew by more than 22 percent, according to the report. But ICs for traditional products, such as electronic toys and watches, rose by less than 14 percent, according to the data.

"China manufacturers are employing more advanced technologies in eight major product segments: color TVs, DVD players, home theater systems, in-car entertainment, digital still cameras, MP3 players, personal digital assistants and household appliances," according to the report.




The report was published by the company's China-based electronics publications, EE Times-China and Electronics Supply & Manufacturing-China (ESM-China). Both publications are part of a joint venture between Global Sources and CMP Media, which publishes Silicon Strategies.
