Soaring prices during the second half of 2016 and the planned closure of Samsung Display’s L7-1 fab have created anxieties about supply shortages in the LCD panel market, according to the latest analysis by WitsView, a division of TrendForce. Due to these factors, the share of 40- to 49-inch models in the combined LCD TV set shipments from the top 15 branded vendors for 2016 will be smaller than the projection made at the start of the year by 3.8 percentage points. Hence, the mainstream size bracket of LCD TV sets is unlikely to make the transition from the 32-inch to the 40- to 45-inch, or the mid-size segment.
The global average contract price of PC DRAM rose 7.4% monthly in September to US$14.5 as DRAM makers adjusted their product mixes and caused PC DRAM supply to tighten significantly, says DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce.

The anticipated quarterly increase in the average contract price will be at almost 30%.
