Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c23787) has announced the addition of the Global Sources report "VoIP Products in China" to their offering

About 75 percent of the VoIP makers included in this report expect an increase of at least 94 percent in their output in the next 12 months. In Taiwan, volume production is forecast to reach 4.20 million units by end-2005, an increase of over 50 percent from 2004. Taiwan has about 50 VoIP product makers. The technical strength of Taiwan makers and their ties with global VoIP giants make the island a major force in global VoIP manufacturing.

Output in mainland China is expected to decline. By the end of 2005, unit production is projected to fall by 13 percent to 667,420 units from 764,210 units in 2004. The forecast slowdown stems from a surge in production in late 2003 and early 2004 as makers prepared for rising demand due to the announced deployment of VoIP services by providers. But with VoIP services yet to take off on the mainland, makers are faced with a huge inventory of products, and thus need to reduce their production to clear out the supply glut.

Forty-three percent of makers in mainland China are based in Guangdong. The rest are scattered in Hebei, Guangxi, Shandong, Shanghai and Zhejiang. The VoIP sector in mainland China is concentrated on a core of 20 makers, although there are over 50 VoIP suppliers in the country.
