TrendForce revises 2026 smartphone output upward, driven by demand pull-forward, not recovery; rising DRAM costs in 2027 risk deeper market contraction.
Key Highlights
- Upward Revision Rationale: TrendForce corrects prior over-adjustment to memory cost impact and incorporates consumer pull-forward demand, narrowing the projected 2026 production decline.
- Price Tier Restructuring: Sustained DRAM hikes in 2027 may eliminate budget-tier devices and push mid-low segments upward, driving some consumers toward used devices.
- Brand Strategy Divergence: Apple sustains strong sales via stable pricing; Samsung raises ODM share to cut costs; Chinese brands remain conservative on volume expansion.
