The latest panel price report from WitsView, a division of TrendForce, finds the IT panel market will remain gloomy towards the end of the second quarter. Though the traditional peak season for monitors and notebooks is approaching, unresolved inventory issues and uncertain prospects still hang over the IT panel market.
The shipments of LCD TV panels in May totaled 22.72M units, a 4% increase over the previous month and a 9% year-on-year increase, according to latest report from WitsView, a division of TrendForce. However, 4K panel shipments had a 2% monthly decline, from April’s 3.1M units to 3M in May. As a result, the market penetration of 4K panels also saw a slight drop from April’s 14.4% to May’s 13.6%.
Global research firm TrendForce will be hosting “Compuforum 2015” with Taipei Computer Association and TechNews at the 4th floor VIP Room of Taipei International Convention Center on June 5, 2015 as part of the Computex Taipei 2015. Top analysts assembled from three of TrendForce’s research divisions – DRAMeXchange, WitsView and Topology – will be presenting their latest research on the key components of mobile devices and communication technology.
WitsView, a research division of TrendForce, has revised the estimated shipments of LCD monitors for 2015 downward to a negative year-on-year growth of 5%. This decline in shipments is based on three major factors. Firstly, demands in the commercial market saw further decline instead of recovery during the first quarter.
The beginning of 2015 was excellent for Apple as the sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S remained strong. The total shipment of iPhones in the first quarter was over 60 million units, exceeding the market expectations. As the second quarter is drawing to a close, the smartphone market shifts its attention to the next-generation iPhone (iPhone 6S or iPhone 7). Interests on the next iPhone's future sales results are growing as more information about its specs have been leaked to the public.
