TrendForce’s latest investigations have revealed that the recent release of DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 underscores an industry-wide shift toward more cost-effective AI infrastructure. This development is expected to prompt end users to conduct more rigorous evaluations of AI infrastructure investments, focusing on adopting more efficient software computing models to reduce reliance on hardware such as GPUs. CSPs are also likely to expand the adoption of in-house ASIC infrastructure to lower deployment costs. Consequently, actual demand for GPU-based AI chips and semiconductors could see notable changes from 2025 onward.
TrendForce’s latest research report highlights that the NAND Flash industry will continue to face dual pressure from weak demand and oversupply in 2025. In response, manufacturers including Micron, Kioxia/SanDisk, Samsung, and SK hynix/Solidigm have similar plans to cut production—a move that could accelerate industry consolidation in the long term.
A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southern Taiwan, with its epicenter in Chiayi, at 12:17 AM on January 21, 2025. TrendForce’s preliminary assessment found that nearby wafer fabs had not suffered significant damage.
TrendForce’s latest report, “2025 Infrared Sensing Application Market and Branding Strategies,” reveals that LiDAR is gaining traction in automotive markets—including passenger vehicles and robo-taxis—as well as in industrial applications such as robotics, factory automation, and logistics. Propelled by advancements in Level 3 and higher autonomous driving systems and logistics solutions, the global LiDAR market is forecast to grow from US$1.181 billion in 2024 to $5.352 billion in 2029, achieving a robust CAGR of 35%.
TrendForce’s latest investigations have revealed the U.S. economy outperformed market expectations in December 2024, with non-farm payrolls and the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) delivering strong results. Consequently, the Federal Reserve may significantly scale back the frequency of rate cuts in 2025, prolonging a high-interest-rate environment. This scenario could dampen consumer spending and undermine corporate confidence in investment and expansion. TrendForce estimates that MLCC shipments will reach 1,146.7 billion units in 1Q25, marking a 3% QoQ decline.
