Display

LG Display’s Guangzhou Gen 8.5 LCD line was officially transferred to CSOT today (April 1st) and renamed “T11”. CSOT will now own two Gen 6, four Gen 8.5, one Gen 8.6, and two Gen 10.5 LCD production lines with this acquisition. TrendForce notes that the completion of this—along with ramping up capacity at CSOT’s T9 Gen 8.6 line—will increase the company’s share of global large-generation (Gen 5 and above) LCD production area by 3.6 percentage points to 22.9%. As T11 mainly produces TV and public information display (PID) panels, the combined TV market share of the top three panel makers—BOE, CSOT, and HKC—is expected to rise further to 66%.

NAND Flash Prices Begin to Recover in 2Q25 as Production Cuts and Inventory Rebuilding Take Effect, Says TrendForce

2025/03/26

Semiconductors

TrendForce reports that NAND Flash suppliers began reducing production in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the effects are now starting to show. In anticipation of potential U.S. tariff increases, consumer electronics brands have accelerated production, further driving up demand. Concurrently, inventory restocking is underway across the PC, smartphone, and data center sectors. As a result, NAND Flash prices are expected to stabilize in the second quarter of 2025, with prices for wafers and client SSDs projected to rise.
