TrendForce’s latest research reveals that despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, both buyers and sellers remain bullish on the OLED monitor panel market. Following a remarkable 132% YoY growth in 2024, this strong momentum is expected to carry over into 2025. As a result, TrendForce has revised its 2025 OLED monitor panel shipment forecast upward from 2.8 million to 3.4 million units—raising the annual growth rate from 40% to 69%.

TrendForce’s latest research reveals that global smartphone production reached 289 million units in 1Q25. Although this represents a 3% decline compared to the same period in 2024, production remained relatively stable across major brands. In China, sales in the first quarter were buoyed by the ongoing consumer subsidy program, resulting in a modest uptick in shipments.

TrendForce’s latest investigations find that the global foundry industry recorded 1Q25 revenue of US$36.4 billion—a 5.4% QoQ decline. The downturn was softened by last-minute rush orders from clients ahead of the U.S. reciprocal tariff exemption deadline, as well as continued momentum from China’s 2024 consumer subsidy program. These factors help offset the typical seasonal slump.

TrendForce’s latest investigations find that DDR4 contract prices for servers and PCs are expected to rise more sharply in the second quarter of 2025 due to two key factors: major DRAM suppliers scaling back DDR4 production and buyers accelerating procurement ahead of U.S. tariff changes. As a result, server DDR4 contract prices are forecast to rise by 18–23% QoQ, while PC DDR4 prices are projected to increase by 13–18%—both surpassing earlier estimates.

TrendForce’s latest report on the display industry reveals that OLED technology—valued for its self-emissive structure, high contrast ratio, and lightweight design—continues to expand its market presence, primarily in small-size applications such as smartphones. However, its penetration into the large-size display segment has been hindered by high production costs and limited capacity. In contrast, the mid-size segment, including monitors, notebooks, tablets, and automotive displays, is emerging as a new battleground, driven by growing consumer demand for premium visual experiences.

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 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’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.
