Where’s the growth?
As extensively covered on HEXUS.channel already, the consumer mobile segment has provided all the growth this year, with mini-notebooks being the highlight - already accounting for over a quarter of the consumer portable total.
While portables will continue to be major growth drivers, it will be the return to growth of the business market that creates this sustained double-digit growth. Furthermore, emerging markets are expected to bounce back more vigorously than mature ones.
