Inventec Appliances expects to ship 60 million smart hand-held devices in 2015, increasing 25% on year, and aims to ship 70 million units in 2016, according to company president David Ho.

Shipments in the third quarter of 2015 significantly grew on year and those in the fourth quarter will increase on quarter, Ho said.

Total time taken in trial production during January-September hiked 70% on year, Ho indicated. This implies that many new product items will come into volume production in November-December 2015 and 2016.

Inventec Appliances has extended development and production to smart wearable devices, smart home-use devices and smart machines, Ho said.
