Worldwide
Source: Comline
Comline Computer Wire via Individual Inc. -- Fujitsu <6702> says it will boost
worldwide PC shipments by 1 million this year to 3.8 million, looking for 30%
growth against the industry average target of 22% as it chases down top ranked
NEC. It will launch new models targeting the growing small and home office
market and will also work to develop new mobile computing markets. Fujitsu was
9th in the world with a 3.8% share in 1996. Shipments in Japan should be up 30%
to 2.6 million, with Europe up 33% to 800,000 and the US and Asia/Pacific
doubling to 200,000 each. US and European growth will be based on increased
notebook sales. The company launched a home notebook last summer in the US,
where it ranks 14th. It hopes to get into the top ten by developing the
business market.
