In 2017 Taiwanese company Clevo expects to deliver 1.7 million laptops against 1.33 million units a year earlier. Growth is expected to be achieved by improving demand in emerging markets. In addition, further stimulate the revenue and profit of Clevo will be a new product range, in which the share of high-end models will have 50%. It is expected that due to this, the average sales price of laptops Clevo will increase by more than 10%, according to DigiTimes.
In 2016, shipments of Clevo notebooks fell by 7%, but the average price of its devices rose by 10% due to the increased share of expensive models. Due to this, Clevo's laptop business reported revenue of 14.1 billion Taiwan dollars ($ 470.9 million).
Clevo predicts an improvement in the dynamics of the global notebook market in 2017, after the recession in 2016 by 7.1%, to 152 million devices, which was observed against the backdrop of a deficit of key components and a rise in the price of computer components.
