Tech sales growth slows down, but China seems to buck trend

Article Abstract:

Technology sales in Asia have slumped lately, while China maintains a healthy technology market. The high-tech growth rate for Asia is estimated to decline to 8% this year, compared to 20% in the year 2000. China, however, is expected to have its technology sales grow about 26% yearly between the years 2000 and 2004. Despite lower sales rates, the region of the Asian-Pacific is still forecast to remain the fastest-growing technology products region.
