Industry leaders upbeat on tech demand outlookBy Angelica Oung / Staff reporterIndustry leaders attending the Taipei Computer Association’s (TCA, 台北市電腦公會) annual meeting yesterday said that they expect Taiwanese tech companies to see “continued demand” in the next three to six months. Pegatron Corp (和碩) chairman and TCA honorary chairman Tung Tzu-hsien (童子賢) said there was “no need to worry” about fluctuating orders for the next three to six months. “Overall, supply is outstripping demand,” Tung said. SHORTAGESGiven a shortage of semiconductors and tight supply of glass substates, flat panels for laptop computers are especially in short supply, Peng said. “We can only supply half of the demand for monitors for Chromebooks, which are in high demand due to distance learning,” he said, adding that the order visibility for AUO has extended into the first half of next year.
