Asia-Pacific is Intel's biggest market
Tuesday, 22 January, 2002
The Asia-Pacific region has eclipsed the Americas as the greatest source of revenue for Intel.
The Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, accounted for 35%, of Intel's fourth quarter revenues in 2001, according to the company. The Americas, which includes the US, accounted for 33%, with Europe and Japan contributing 25% and 7% respectively.
The most likely cause for the jump in Asia Pacific sales is an increase in PC and notebook manufacturing in the region, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst with Insight 64 in the US. "Asia Pacific is certainly becoming the hub for assembly of many computer systems, including an awful lot of laptops," he said. "Therefore, Intel is shipping an awful lot of core logic to that region."
