computer Industry bangladesh

Industry

Bangladesh is primarily an agricultural based economy. However, in this new world of technology, Bangladesh must transform itself into a IT nation. Currently there is no large scale production of computer hardware or peripherals. Some Bangladeshi companies, located on the web, claim to make computers. In reality, they buy the parts from elsewhere, and assemble the homemade computers in bangladesh. In addition, Beyond.com has strong web presence on Bangladeshi sites. Due to these factors, one can conclude that Bangladesh does not produce, export, or develop computer hardware. However, the bangladesh Computer Samity does hold a computer fair once a year at which there is a section for product launching.
Brand Names
Pentium, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Apple, IBM, Seagate--None of these world wide computer hardware manufacturers have formal distribution, sales offices, or dealers located in Bangladesh. However, many shops in Bangladesh offer these products.
Local Computer Resellers

Clone computers are big in Bangladesh. In order to fulfill the rapidly growing demand of IT in Bangladesh, CITech Communications was established. They offer various product and services including hardware and peripherals (2). Other web companies in Bangladesh have sprung, offering similar services, such as the company 3A (3). I found 25 computer companies located on the web that assemble computers locally from foreign made components.

Competitive Market

In a developing country like Bangladesh, all computer stores are equal players. But some are more equal than others. For instance, Dofin Computers have a much bigger market presence than anyone else. With 5,000 clients, this company sells micro computer systems for both home and professional use. The following is a list of other computer sellers, although they usually do more than just sell computers, (i.e., maintenance, software development, internet).
