SINGAPORE, Nov 11, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - According to the recent research of China-pcb-assemblies.com, due to the impact of the shortage of hard disk caused by the Thailand floods, in the first quarter of 2012, the global PC shipments may reduce 20%.
China-pcb-assemblies.com (http://www.china-pcb-assemblies.com/products.html) analyzes that the reduced PC shipments in the first quarter of 2012 have a direct relationship with the flood in Thailand. The hard disk output of Thailand accounts for 40% to 45% share of the global production of hard disk drives.
China-pcb-assemblies.com reports that the major hard drive manufacturers Seagate and Western Digital have large-scale production facilities of hard drives in Thailand. Since the July of this year, Thailand's floods have killed at least 320 people and destroyed Thailand's industrial zone. Since then, the price of hard disks has risen 20% to 40%.
Although manufacturers in the hard disk industry will soon resume production, but the supply is still very tense in a period of time. Since PC production for the shipments in the fourth quarter of this year has been completed or can be completed by using existing hard drives in stock. China-pcb-assemblies.com points out that the impact of hard drive shortage on the PC shipments in the fourth quarter is no more than 10%. However, the worst case is that in the first quarter of 2012 the PC shipments will therefore reduce by 20% or more.
