TrendForce’s latest findings reveal that U.S. tariff hikes prompted most downstream brands to frontload shipments to 1Q25, accelerating inventory reduction across the memory supply chain. Looking ahead to the second quarter, conventional DRAM prices are expected to decline by just 0–5% QoQ, while average DRAM pricing including HBM is forecast to rise by 3–8%, driven by increasing shipments of HBM3e 12hi.
TrendForce’s latest findings on the AI server supply chain have revealed that NVIDIA is expected to launch the GB300 chip ahead of schedule in 2Q25. However, due to its improved computing performance, memory capacity, networking, and power management compared to the GB200, ODM partners will require additional time for testing and customer validation.
TrendForce reveals that the combined revenue of the world’s top 10 IC design houses reached approximately US$249.8 billion in 2024, marking a 49% YoY increase. The booming AI industry has fueled growth across the semiconductor sector, with NVIDIA leading the charge, posting an astonishing 125% revenue growth, widening its lead over competitors, and solidifying its dominance in the IC industry.
TrendForce’s latest research reveals that the global foundry industry exhibited a polarized trend in 4Q24. Advanced process nodes benefited from strong demand in AI servers, flagship smartphone application processors (APs), and new PC platforms, driving high-value wafer shipments. This growth helped offset the slowdown in mature process demand, allowing the top 10 foundries to achieve nearly 10% QoQ revenue growth, reaching US$38.48 billion, and marking another industry record.
TrendForce’s latest research shows that 4Q24 enterprise SSD demand remained stable compared to the previous quarter, driven by the arrival of NVIDIA H-series products and continued procurement from large CSPs in China. However, contract prices stagnated due to weakness in the consumer electronics market, ultimately keeping levels at Q3 levels. Consequently, enterprise SSD revenue for major suppliers totaled US$7.34 billion, marking a slight 0.5% QoQ decline.
