cer expects its 2007 PC shipments to grow at least 30-40% from the amount it shipped in 2006, lifting its global ranking to third place, from the current fourth ranking, for one or two quarters, or even the whole year according to company chairman, JT Wang.
According to data compiled by IDC, Acer's PC shipments, including notebooks and desktops, totaled 13.58 million units, representing an annual growth of 37.9%, which is the highest among the world's top-five vendors. For notebook shipments in 2007, Acer sets a low-end target of 12 million units and a high-end target of 14 million units, according to company sources. In addition to pushing its shipment growth, Acer is also pondering how to narrow the gap in terms of global market share it has with the top-two vendors, Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HP), Wang noted. Data made available by market research firms showed that Dell and HP currently each account for 15% share compared to Acer's 7%.
