WitsView, a research division of TrendForce, has revised the estimated shipments of LCD monitors for 2015 downward to a negative year-on-year growth of 5%. This decline in shipments is based on three major factors. Firstly, demands in the commercial market saw further decline instead of recovery during the first quarter.
According to DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce, the worldwide mobile DRAM revenue reached US$3.576 billion in the first quarter, a decline of less than 1% QoQ. Mobile memory sales accounted for 29.8% of total DRAM industry revenue in the first quarter and is expected to keep growing. According to DRAMeXchange’s Assistant Vice President Avril Wu, the additional 23nm production from Samsung boosted the first quarter’s mobile DRAM shipments by 8.2% QoQ.
