Intel expects 20 per cent increase in revenue this fiscal
Mumbai, Nov 16: Semiconductor major Intel Corporation is expecting a 20 per cent increase during this fiscal in marketshare and sales revenues in India, of which 70 to 80 per cent is expected to be from the mobile computing and notebook segments.
"The increase will be mainly due to the rise in sales of
laptops and notebooks as major corporates and other clients
would move over to mobile computing from the conventional mode
of personal computing," Intel Technologies India Pvt Ltd South
Asia director (sales and marketing group) R K Amar Babu told
Reporters here today.
With more staff and executives on the move, a shift to
mobile computing is expected, he said adding, corporates and
educational institutions are stressing on the need for mobile
computing.
The increase in bandwidth and the number of hotspots
would also lead to the rise in sales of personal digital
assistants (PDA) and hand-held devices among others, he said.
The introduction of Intel's Pentium-IV processors
embedded with hyper-threading technology and the recent launch
of Centrino processors, which are expected to result in faster
computing would also lead to a rise in sales, he opined.
An expected fall in peripheral and microprocessor prices
would lead to an increased sales of notebooks from the
educational sector and small and medium businesses in the
country, he said.
The semiconductor major offers technology and services to
all major peripheral makers, including IBM, Hewelett-Packard,
Toshiba and Acer among others.
