According to EnergyTrend, a research division of TrendForce, the overall demand for lithium batteries for the 2014 cycle was steady despite some turbulences. The first half of the year saw a strong promotion for power banks. This was followed by a push for prismatic laptop batteries as well as popular large-screen handheld devices driven by Apple in the second half. These factors affected the supply and demand for cylindrical, prismatic and polymer battery markets.
EnergyTrend, a research division of TrendForce, expects the overall PV market price in the first quarter of 2015 to remain constant until the end of the Chinese New Year. Afterwards, shipment demand will decrease and the price will drop. The beginning of holiday season in China meets the end of the holiday season in the US and Europe, and this means that there is a reduction of working hours in China happening at the same time with a return of purchase orders from the US and Europe.
The Department of Commerce’s preliminary review of Chinese solar cell imports for the year 2012/2013 led to big changes in antidumping and countervailing duty. This new result came in less than a month since the US International Trade Commission’s ruling on the antidumping and countervailing measures against Chinese and Taiwanese solar products.
In 2015, Samsung and LG, the two major Korean brands, may surpass 40% global market share, squeezing the market shares of Chinese and Japanese TV brands, according to a recent announcement from WitsView, a research division of TrendForce. Even though Korean brands are leading ahead of the pack in the global LCD TV market, a newly released “2014 China TV Brand Power Research Report” from AVANTI, a Chinese consumer research division of TrendForce, indicates that within the China market, Changhong, TCL and Hisense still possess an absolute geographical advantage in terms of brand image and visibility.
Taiwanese solar cell manufacturer, Motech, announced on December 26, 2014 that it will merge with Topcell Solar International Co. (TSi), and Motech will be the surviving company and remain the same company name post the merger.
