TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that the DRAM market is expected to face downward pricing pressure in 1Q25 as seasonal weakness aligns with sluggish consumer demand for products like smartphones. Additionally, early stockpiling by notebook manufacturers—over potential import tariffs under the Trump administration—has further exacerbated the pricing decline.
Honda and Nissan—two of Japan’s largest automakers—announced on December 23rd, 2024, that they have entered into merger negotiations, with plans to finalize an agreement by June 2025. Mitsubishi Motors is also expected to join the partnership.
TrendForce’s latest report estimates that global shipments of VR and MR headsets are expected to reach approximately 9.6 million units in 2024, representing a YoY increase of 8.8%. This year’s shipment performance highlights three key industry trends that are shaping the global VR and MR ecosystem: The dominance of low-cost devices, the shift from entertainment accessories to productivity tools, and OLEDoS emerging as the preferred display technology for high-end near-eye devices. These three trends are expected to continue influencing the global VR and MR market over the next several years.
TrendForce's latest OLED Technology and Market Development Report reveals that the penetration rate of OLED displays in notebooks is set to increase to 3% in 2024, driven by large-scale procurement from Chinese laptop brands. While growth in 2025 is expected to be moderate, the anticipated introduction of OLED displays in Apple’s MacBook lineup will mark a significant turning point.
As the market closely follows the progress of NVIDIA’s GB200 rack-mounted solution, TrendForce’s latest research indicates that the supply chain requires additional time for optimization and adjustment. This is largely due to the higher design specifications of the GB200 rack, including its requirements for high-speed interconnect interfaces and thermal design power (TDP), which significantly exceed market norms. Consequently, TrendForce projects that mass production and peak shipments are unlikely to occur until between Q2 and Q3 of 2025.
