According to the latest electric vehicle industry research from TrendForce, range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) are increasingly emerging as a pivotal transitional solution for automakers shifting toward full electrification. The European Union’s recent announcement regarding adjustments to its 2035 ban on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles offers significant regulatory flexibility and expands the development landscape for REEVs. TrendForce projects that, driven by this policy flexibility alongside technological maturity and rising market acceptance, global annual sales of REEVs will reach 3 million units by 2030—a twofold increase from 2025 levels.
Global notebook shipments projected to fall 14.8% QoQ in 1Q26, with a mild rebound in 2Q26 Memory, CPUs, PCBs, batteries, and PMICs are all seeing price hikes, which is intensifying cost pressure on notebooks Full-year 2026 notebook shipment forecast cut to a 9.4% YoY decline due to supply constraints and unclear brand strategies
TrendForce’s latest research indicates that AI innovation is causing a fundamental shift in the memory market. As data access volumes continue to grow, AI systems depend more on high-bandwidth, high-capacity, low-latency DRAM to handle large-scale model parameters, long-sequence inference, and multi-task parallel processing. Additionally, NAND Flash has become essential for fast data transfer, making memory a key component in AI infrastructure and a strategic focus for CSPs.
Once TCL takes over Sony’s home entertainment business, their combined TV market share could approach 20% by 2027 TCL CSOT and AUO are expected to benefit on the panel supply side, while MOKA is set to become the primary OEM for the new Sony TV brand The exit of Japanese TV brands is accelerating, with Chinese brands’ global market share projected to rise toward 50%
North American CSPs' continued investments in AI infrastructure are expected to increase global AI server shipments by more than 28% YoY in 2026, according to the latest market research from TrendForce. The rapid growth of AI inference services is boosting demand for general-purpose servers, supporting both replacement and expansion efforts. Consequently, TrendForce predicts that total global server shipments, including AI servers, will accelerate from 2025, with a 12.8% YoY growth in 2026.
