Competitive Landscape
Demand is driven by consumer and government spending, as well as capital spending by businesses. The profitability of individual companies depends on technological innovation, anticipating customer requirements, and delivering consistent product quality. Large companies compete by staffing large, international direct sales forces, and their ability to form strategic alliances with large original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and major distributors. Small companies can compete effectively by developing innovative technologies. The US industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies account for about 80% of revenue.
The US imports more than $20 billion in computer peripheral equipment annually. More than 60% of all imports come from China. Other top exporters to the US include Mexico, Canada, China, Netherlands, and Singapore.
