TrendForce’s monthly July NAND Flash update reveals that the NAND Flash market has remained undersupplied throughout 2026, driven by surging AI-related demand and limited capacity expansion.
TrendForce’s latest research on the robotics industry reveals that companion robots have evolved well beyond their original role in elderly care and therapeutic applications pioneered by Japan.
TrendForce's recent memory pricing survey shows that more mature NAND process capacity is being shifted toward higher-value products like high-layer-count 3D NAND, leading to a significant shortage of MLC NAND supply. As a result, some industrial, automotive, and networking clients are considering switching to SLC NAND, further tightening the already limited market.
TrendForce’s latest memory pricing survey indicates that multiple memory suppliers have already factored in expected price hikes into their prices for the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, several U.S.-based CSPs have entered into multi-year long-term agreements (LTAs), which restrict suppliers from raising prices for these clients.
TrendForce's latest MLCC industry research indicates that accelerating AI server platform upgrades and the continued volume growth of custom ASICs developed by CSPs have significantly boosted demand for high-end MLCCs.
