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.
TrendForce’s latest research reveals that China's EV sales continued to grow throughout November 2024, driving demand for EV batteries. LFP battery prices remained stable, while prices for ternary batteries saw a slight decline.
TrendForce’s latest investigations found that the enterprise SSD market experienced significant growth in 3Q24, driven by robust demand from AI-related applications. Prices surged as suppliers struggled to keep pace with market needs, pushing overall industry revenue up by an impressive 28.6% QoQ. Demand for high-capacity models was especially strong, fueled by the arrival of NVIDIA’s H-series products and sustained orders for AI training servers. As a result, the total procurement volume for enterprise SSDs rose 15% compared to the previous quarter.
TrendForce’s latest findings show that global shipments of EV traction inverters reached 6.87 million units in the third quarter of 2024, representing a 7% QoQ increase, though the growth rate has slowed compared to the same period last year. Among the segments, PHEV traction inverter shipments grew by 16%, marking the highest growth across all powertrain types, though down from the 35% increase in the previous quarter.
