In China, more PV power plants are switching to mono-Si products. This factor and the impending end of the country’s installation rush have caused prices of multi-Si products (e.g. wafers, cells and modules) to level after the Chinese New Year holidays, said Corrine Lin, assistant research manager for EnergyTrend, a division of TrendForce.
DRAMeXchange, a division of global research firm TrendForce, reports that the decline in mobile DRAM prices eased in the fourth quarter of 2015. By comparison, PC DRAM suffered a 16% quarterly price decline during the same period. Since the second half of 2015 was the traditional strong season for smartphone shipments, the mobile DRAM industry saw its global revenue fell by a mere 1% in the final quarter.
