This IDC study updates the previously published Asia/Pacific Branded Tape Drive Market, 2007?2011(IDC #AP2671IDP, August 2007). It relates to the single tape drive market and provides the following market data:
A summary of the market in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ in 1H07 compared with 1H06
Revenue and unit shipments broken down by country, class segment/technology, and vendor
Forecasts of the market from 2007 to 2011 for the region, as well as separate forecasts for each of the 13 countries covered
"As competitive price pressures within open tape formats continued to "thin" vendor margins, the market for single tape drives gave way to mounting pressure from competitively priced tape automation systems. Overall, customer revenue and unit shipments fell 9.6% and 16.3%, respectively, compared with 1H06. Although a strong recovery in most of the region's economies was observed, resulting in the expectation of a flow-through effect on IT investments, IDC believes that the tape automation market rather than the single tape drive market will benefit from the increased spending. Therefore, the APEJ market for single tape drives is projected to decline in revenue (-6.4%) and unit shipments (-7.6%) over the next five years,". says Cheryl Ganesan-Lim, market analyst, Storage Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
