TrendForce’s latest research reveals that the NAND Flash market faced downward pressure in 4Q24 as PC and smartphone manufacturers continued inventory clearance efforts, leading to significant supply chain adjustments. Consequently, NAND Flash prices reversed downward, with ASP dropping 4% QoQ, while overall bit shipments declined by 2%. Total industry revenue fell 6.2% QoQ to US$16.52 billion.
TrendForce’s latest research reveals that global DRAM industry revenue surpassed US$28 billion in 4Q24, marking a 9.9% QoQ increase. This growth was primarily driven by rising contract prices for server DDR5 and concentrated shipments of HBM, leading to continued revenue expansion for the top three DRAM suppliers.
TrendForce's latest findings reveal that the NAND Flash market continues to be plagued by oversupply in the first quarter of 2025, leading to sustained price declines and financial strain for suppliers. However, TrendForce anticipates a significant improvement in the market’s supply-demand balance in the second half of the year.
TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that global AI server shipments grew by 46% in 2024, driven by strong demand from CSPs and OEMs. However, multiple factors, including US chip restrictions, the DeepSeek effect, and supply chain readiness for GB200/GB300 racks, could impact AI server shipments in 2025. TrendForce has outlined the following three scenarios based on these uncertainties.
While DeepSeek has successfully reduced AI training costs, the broader cost reduction of AI models is expected to expand application scenarios and drive an increase in global data center deployments. Optical transceivers, as a key component in data center interconnectivity, are set to benefit from the growing demand for high-speed data transmission. AI servers rely heavily on optical transceivers to convert electrical signals into optical signals, transmit them via optical fiber, and then convert received optical signals back into electrical signals.
