In 2014, electronic sports (e-sports) which are video game competitions, continued to help sustain demand for desktops, especially in the higher-end segment with a higher performance. However, as consumers switched from desktops to laptops due to mobility, overall desktops continued to face declining sales. Consumers commonly replaced desktops with laptops with over 14-inch screen size and higher performance capabilities.The strong rise in the popularity of tablets continued to contribute to very strong growth of computers and peripherals in 2013. There has been rapid development in tablets since the launch of iPad and the huge range of options available under iOS, Android and Windows from large and smaller players has ensured tablets are available at different price points, including the budget end.The leading companies in computers and peripherals are dominated by computer manufacturers. Printer manufacturers are the next most prominent due to the printer industry being controlled by just a handful of large manufacturers. Leading players are made up of both domestic and international players.Growth in computers and peripherals is overall set to be healthy in volume terms over the forecast period. Burgeoning sales of tablets will be the chief driver. Tablets are being adopted as a truly personal computing/internet browsing device that will see them eventually outnumber computers within most households.For more information on the "Computers and Peripherals in Taiwan" market analysis, see the latest research: Computers and Peripherals in TaiwanFollow us on Twitter @CandMResearch
