Thai flood will affect supply chain in 2012

摘要

The flood that took place last year in Thailand will continue to affect this year's electronics supply chain. IHS in December estimated that damages from the flood will result in a 3.8 million-unit shortfall in PC shipments in the first quarter of 2012 compared with the company's previous forecast, which it issued in August. IHS now expects that global PC shipments will grow by 6.8% in 2012, down from the previous outlook of 9.5% growth.
