Earlier, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, which poses dire, system-wide risks for the global economy. Similarly, the memory market may take a turn for the worse and go into a slump earlier than expected.DRAMFri, 13 Mar 2020 05:42:00 +00003340 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3338.htmlThe smartphone supply chain is continuing to feel the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. Owing to hindrances such as uneven factory work resumption statuses, a generally low rate of returning labor, and breaks in logistics and transportation, the supply chain has not been recovering as previously expected. The outbreak’s impact is projected to last 1-3 months, and the supply chain will not recover to normal levels until the second half of March at the earliest. Therefore, TrendForce is further reducing its previous projection of 1Q20 smartphone production from the pre-outbreak forecast of 307 million units to 270 million units, a 13.3% decrease YoY.Consumer ElectronicsThu, 05 Mar 2020 07:06:00 +00003338 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3337.htmlUnder the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the notebook supply chain is facing many challenges in work resumption delays, labor shortages, material shortages, and logistic/transportation restrictions. TrendForce is hereby lowering its February notebook shipment forecast from 10.8 million units previously to 5.7 million units, a 47.6% decrease YoY.Consumer ElectronicsThu, 27 Feb 2020 06:32:00 +00003337 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3334.htmlThe following analysis shows TrendForce’s investigations of key component and other downstream technology industries, under the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, with the latest data as of February 14, 2020.DRAMMon, 17 Feb 2020 07:25:00 +00003334 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3330.htmlTrendForce’s latest investigation finds that several factors have negatively affected smartphone production: first, the labor-intensive nature of the smartphone industry; second, China’s delay in work resumption until February 10 and population movement control; finally, the reduction in the public’s willingness to buy. Due to the aforementioned factors, TrendForce is lowering its 1Q20 smartphone production forecast to a 12% decrease YoY, at 275 million units produced, which is a five-year low.Consumer ElectronicsMon, 10 Feb 2020 05:59:00 +00003330 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3328.htmlGlobal market intelligence firm TrendForce is honored to announce its 20th anniversary in 2020.

In contrast, due to an increase in panel manufacturers’ shipment target and the continued capacity expansion in China, the supply of monitor panels in 2020 is projected to exceed demand by nearly 20%. In the short term, the price drop of monitor panels is unlikely to stop.DisplayWed, 15 Jan 2020 06:20:00 +00003327 at http://www.trendforce.comhttps://press.trendforce.com/node/view/3324.htmlAccording to the latest research from the WitsView research division of TrendForce, the 2019 shipment of gaming monitors (defined by WitsView as monitors with frame rate over 100Hz) is estimated at up to 8.5 million units, a 57% growth YoY, compared to 2018 figures.
