TrendForce’s latest report states that rising memory prices have significantly increased BOM costs in consumer electronics, leading brands to hike retail prices and dampening market demand. After reducing its 2026 shipment forecasts for smartphones and laptops earlier in November, TrendForce has also downgraded its 2026 forecast for game console shipments—from an initial YoY decline of 3.5% to 4.4%.
TrendForce’s latest research shows that demand for NAND Flash stayed strong in November 2025, fueled by AI applications and solid enterprise SSD orders. Meanwhile, suppliers continued to focus on capacity for high-margin enterprise and premium products, while old-node capacity was quickly phased out.
TrendForce has identified 10 key technology trends that will define the tech industry's evolution in 2026. The highlights of these findings are outlined below:
TrendForce’s latest research shows that significant increases in conventional DRAM contract prices, higher bit shipments, and growing HBM volumes drove the global DRAM industry revenue to US$41.4 billion in 3Q25, marking a strong 30.9% QoQ growth.
TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that the rapid expansion of AI and HPC is increasing the need for heterogeneous integration, positioning advanced packaging as a strategic priority. TSMC’s CoWoS platform is currently the leading solution in this area. However, as CSPs accelerate their in-house ASIC development to accommodate more complex functions, their packaging size requirements are growing substantially. As a result, some CSPs are contemplating a switch from TSMC’s CoWoS to Intel’s EMIB.
