The Reason of Stockout and Price-Fluctuation in Accessories and Components of Mobile Phones

With the wave of smartphone sweeping the whole globe, manufacturers of mobile phone are suffering the severe problem of stockout. On one hand, the market of smartphone has been growing sharply beyond expectation. On the other hand, accessories and components of mobile phones can’t keep pace with the explosive growth of demand of mobile phones.

Actually, the recent issue of stockout can date back to the financial crisis of 2008. Take Korea for an example, Korea had reduced production line, dismiss stuffs and frozen investment after the earthquake in economy field. Nevertheless, not all fields and occupations had enter the chilly winter. With the popularization of Internet, mobile devices also became prosperous. At this time, iPhone is roaring across the horizon as the first generation product of Apple, which shocked the whole world. And then Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola started to join the market of mobile phones. With the large-capacity data transmission become more and more important, communication service operators also take measures to expand.

In the condition of the great depression around the world, IT industry stands out among all fields. At the same time, the problem of insufficient supply and demand appeared. The market of mobile phones grew to boom but some products that sold well were on inadequate preparation. And in this case, it became a little difficult to expand production. So the situation of stockout appeared.

In the year of 2014, the financial crisis also leaded to the tension of upstream mobile phone supply chain, which directly affected to the production of mobile phone. In the first half of this year, our partsun has also suffered stockout in LCD of iPhone 5 series. The possibility may include material deficiency. And sometimes, the customs are very strict. And that some industry stopped producing would also have a great influence on accessories-supplying. Even if supply demand is enough, stockout will also appear because the target product can’t get through our quality-testing system of partsun.

These situations above all can directly lead to the fluctuation of price in the field of mobile phone accessories. Both lack of raw material and manipulation of supply are able to cause the prices to rise. Of course, when the fruit is scarcest, its taste is sweetest. This is free of ambiguity for most of us.
