TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that the NAND Flash industry posted solid growth in 2Q25 despite slight declines in ASP. Production cuts by suppliers helped ease the supply-demand imbalance, while supportive policies in both China and the U.S. fueled demand. Overall, bit shipments rose significantly, driving combined revenue among the top five suppliers up 22% QoQ to US$14.67 billion.
TrendForce’s latest research on the liquid cooling industry reveals that the rollout of NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 rack servers in 2025 will accelerate AI data center upgrades, driving liquid cooling adoption from early pilot projects to large-scale deployment. Penetration in AI data centers is projected to surge from 14% in 2024 to 33% in 2025, with continued growth in the following years.
TrendForce’s latest investigations find that the global electronics market in 2025 will be sharply divided. AI server demand—driven by data center consumption—will stand out as the sole growth engine, while end products such as smartphones, notebooks, wearables, and TVs are expected to stagnate under the combined pressures of high inflation, a lack of breakthrough innovations, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. TrendForce projects that overall growth momentum will slow further in 2026, signaling the industry’s entry into a low-growth consolidation phase.
TrendForce’s latest findings reveal the DDR4 market is set to remain in a persistent state of undersupply and strong price growth through 2H25. Rigid server orders are crowding out supply for the PC and consumer markets, forcing PC OEMs to accelerate DDR5 adoption.
The U.S. government plans to impose steep retaliatory tariffs starting August 1st, including up to 30% on imports from Mexico, 15% on the EU, and 15–36% on key tech hubs in Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia. With U.S. consumer spending growth revised down to just 0.5% in Q1—the lowest since the pandemic—TrendForce notes that the effects of front-loaded demand and stockpiling ahead of tariffs are fading. This casts uncertainty over the traditional back-to-school peak season in Q3, with MLCC order momentum clouded as a result.
