TrendForce’s latest investigation reveals that global OLED monitor shipments remain in rapid growth mode. With brands actively launching new models, shipments hit a record high of approximately 507,000 units in 1Q25, marking a 175% YoY increase. Thanks to strong demand—particularly for 27-inch UHD models—shipments in 2Q25 are expected to climb to 650,000 units. For the full year, shipments are projected to reach 2.58 million units, up 81% YoY, raising OLED’s penetration rate in the overall monitor market to 2%.

TrendForce’s latest MLCC research report reveals that uncertainty surrounding the U.S.’ reciprocal tariffs—despite the 90-day grace period—continues to cloud the global economic outlook. Although MLCC suppliers have not been directly affected by the trade war, growing caution and risk aversion among businesses and end markets have disrupted supply-demand dynamics in the first half of 2025. This raises concerns that the typical seasonal boost in the second half may fail to materialize.

TrendForce’s latest research indicates that U.S. reciprocal tariffs are likely to drive TV brands to pass rising costs onto consumers through higher retail prices in the second half of 2025, further weakening consumer spending momentum. Meanwhile, China’s “trade-in” subsidy program in late 2024 had already pulled forward some demand, and despite the program’s extension into 2025, it is unlikely to stimulate additional purchases. Consequently, TrendForce projects global TV shipments in 2025 to decline by 0.7% YoY to 196.44 million units.

TrendForce reports that the U.S. began implementing reciprocal tariffs on April 9th, based largely on trade deficits. Consequently, Asia—particularly Southeast Asia, a key hub for the consumer electronics supply chain—has been significantly impacted. The display industry now faces potential tariffs on optical films and AMOLED organic light-emitting materials, which may drive up material costs. Meanwhile, end-user demand could weaken, and prices for finished products may rise.

TrendForce’s latest “Human-Machine Technology Report” points out that although the 90-day delay on the U.S. reciprocal tariffs announced by the Trump administration in early April 2025 offers temporary relief, it has already triggered lasting shifts in global manufacturing and supply chain strategies. The post-pandemic landscape and geopolitical tensions had already prompted a move away from long, global supply chains toward shorter, regionalized models. The added uncertainty of tariffs is now forcing companies to reassess manufacturing footprints and supply risks as they accelerate the search for resilient strategies.
