JEIDA Sees PC Shipments in Japan Topping 10 Million in Fiscal 2000
December 2, 1999 (TOKYO) -- The Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA) said that unit PC shipments in Japan will again grow at a double-digit pace to breach the 10 million-unit level in fiscal 2000 for the first time.




It recently revised its forecast for PC shipments in the full fiscal 1999 term upward to the 9 million-unit level.

JEIDA announced its fiscal 2000 computer market forecast on Nov. 30.

JEIDA anticipates high growth in the mainframe sector in fiscal 2000. Systems investments are expected to recover once the Y2K problem becomes a thing of the past, helping to boost mainframe shipments year on year 15 percent on a unit basis to 2,300 machines, and 13 percent on a monetary basis to 630 billion yen. (102 yen = US$1)

Shipments of midrange computers are expected to increase 7 percent on a unit basis to 164,000 machines, and 1 percent on a monetary basis to 763 billion yen.

However, workstations are expected to suffer a steep decline in fiscal 2000 due to competition with PC-based workstations, with shipments dropping by a large 25 percent on a unit basis to 65,210 and 20 percent on a monetary basis to 132 billion yen.

Meanwhile, PC shipments are predicted to rise 12 percent year on year to 10.08 million units. However, because of the continuing downtrend in computer prices, the value of PC shipments is expected to increase a mere 2 percent to 1.81 trillion yen.
