Display Search is forecasting that netbook sales will finally slow down in 2010. This will be brought about by the influx of cheaper ULV laptops. The prediction was made amidst the predicted 33.3 million netbook units to be sold by end of 2009. This is a 103% increase in year-over-year growth for the overall netbook market.
The report was part of Display Search's Dec. 22 "Quarterly Notebook PC Shipment and Forecast Report" which also mentioned that total revenue for the netbook market in 2009 is around $11.4 billion, a year-over-year growth rate of 72% in revenue and 103% in shipments.
Of course we all know that the reason for this is the netbook's relatively cheaper price compared to traditional notebooks and laptops.
So the only thing that could probably spoil than fun is when traditional laptops become relatively cheaper as well. And that is what Display Search is predicting to happen in 2010.
