In the past three years, wireless consumption has exceeded the consumption of ordinary PCs. Some analysts predict that the gap between the two will be expanded in the coming years. Last year, the growth rate of computer consumption was 4%, while the growth rate of wireless consumption in 2011 was 14.5%. In 2012, IHS forecasted that wireless consumption will reach 65.1 billion U.S. dollars, and PC semiconductor consumption will drop to 53.5 billion U.S. dollars, and it will recover in 2013.

Production was once suspended due to the impact of the Japan earthquake and floods in Thailand. 2011 also saw the mobile market reach new heights. The sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad have achieved continuous success, and the sales record of the Android product line has achieved an innovative record.
