Component orders from Nokia to grow 20% in 2012 on strong Lumia demand

. Component suppliers in Taiwan expect orders from Nokia to grow 20% in 2012 as demand for Nokia's Lumia smartphones increases. DigiTimes cites unnamed industry sources from within Nokia's supply chain in stating that the launch of Nokia's first pair of Windows Phones - the Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710 - has helped foster growth at several parts suppliers in Taiwan. Magnesium-alloy chassis orders from Nokia helped Silitech's revenue grow 7% to NT$1.34 billion last month, and circuit manufacturer Ichia's revenue grew 61.6% year-over-year last month thanks in part to Nokia's Lumia handsets.
