Ability Enterprise expects 2013 digital camera shipments to drop by 15-20%


Ability Enterprise's digital camera shipments in 2012 decreased by 25% from 2011 and expects 2013 shipments to drop 15-20% from 2012 due to increasing competition from mobile terminal devices equipped with cameras, according to company chairman Roger Tseng.

Global digital camera sales in 2013 will shrink 15-20% from 2012, Tseng indicated.
Due to off-season effects, Ability's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2013 will slip 20-30% sequentially, Tseng noted.

Ability's February consolidated revenues of NT$1.936 billion (US$65.2 million) dropped 38.73% sequentially and 50.25% on year. January-February consolidated revenues dipped 11.06% to NT$5.094 billion.
