Mixed views on when tech sector will pick up


GEORGE TOWN: Penang-based manufacturers of hard disk drive (HDD) products, integrated circuits (ICs) and automated equipment are still uncertain and differ in their views about the future of the technology sector for the remainder of 2009.

The HDD products sector sees sales for the second quarter remaining flat and expects the third and fourth quarters to pick up, while the ICs sector feels the sales volume for the second quarter will remain healthy, but does not see any visibility for the third and final quarter.
