Touch panel makers are seeing increased orders from Xiaomi as the company aims to ship 80 million handsets in 2014, according to industry sources.

　　Xiaomi started the year off with a shipment goal of 40 million units and later bumped it up to 60 million. The sources said Xiaomi is now putting in increased orders to supply chains, with the aim of shipping 80 million handsets in 2014.

　　Furthermore, Xiaomi aims to ship 160 million handsets in 2015 amid prospects in the China market, the sources revealed.

　　The company has already seen steady shipments in the first quarter of 2014 and expects strong growth throughout the second and third quarters as it aggressively pushes low-priced units into the market, the sources said.

　　Wintek and O-Film are among some of the makers who expect to benefit from the shipments, with Xiaomi using primarily OGS solutions in its handsets.
