Top 5 companies holding 70% of global laptop market share in 2006

Taiwanese laptop manufacturers have released a report saying that the world's top five laptop makers today are Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba and Lenovo will hold up to 70.5. % of world laptop market share in 2006 from 60.1% in 2005.

By 2007, these five giants will occupy up to 87% of the global market share of laptops with a total of 55 million units, while in 2004 only 29.45 million units.

Dell has risen to the top of the global laptop market and will definitely hold this position until the end of 2006. HP has consistently surpassed Dell from 2001 to 2003. Dell plans to produce 14 to 14. 15 million laptops in 2006, followed by HP with about 12-13 million units, Acer 11 million, Toshiba 8.5-9 million and Lenovo from 8 to 8.5 million.

The Taiwanese laptop market will always grow optimally because the five giants have chosen Taiwan as an outpost to attack other Asian markets, but if they neglect one of the five big companies may also be excluded from the Top 5 because of the intense competition of other companies that have just jumped into the laptop market. Intel will be the most fierce competitor when it has established a laptop manufacturing alliance with companies such as Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Asustek Computer, Synnex Technology International .
