Hon Hai this year will provide electronic components, primarily motherboards in the clone market under the brand name Foxconn, eying tech-savvy consumers who seek tailored PCs, Christin Wang (王文玉), Hon Hai's global marketing manager, told the Taipei Times in an interview last week.
"Hon Hai appears to be one of the most aggressive players this year," Yang said, adding that the EMS giant is aggressively building the clone motherboard business and showing some initial results, growing to estimated 6 million units this year from 1 million last year.
Hon Hai's total shipments are expected grow 25.7 percent year-on-year to 40 million motherboards, or 31.7 percent of global market, this year from 30 million, or 25.8 percent market share last year, the company said in a report.
