The 32”-42” panel prices increase USD 1-3 and the 46”-55” panels show narrowed prices drops in April 2014, according to TrendForce panel research division WitsView’s latest mid-and large-sized panel shipment research report. The monitor panel capacity was still constrained, the 21.5” monitor panel saw a small increase USD 0.2, and the 24”W was affected by the capacity adjustment and order transfer of 23.6” W TN. The 23.6”W and 24”W TN panel prices will stay flat or rise by USD 0.3. The remaining main sizes of monitor panels will see unchanged prices.
Global smartphone shipments showed better than expected growth in 1Q14, rising 1.13% QoQ to 266.9 million units, according to TrendForce. “The Q1 momentum came mostly from the emerging market sectors and China,” noted Avril Wu, Assistant Vice President of TrendForce. “The Chinese smartphone manufacturers’ increased 4G smartphone production is key to the smartphone industry higher than anticipated Q1 growth.”
Impacted by recent market demand changes and narrowing price gaps, mono-si cell demand may increase in 2Q14, analyzed EnergyTrend, a research division of TrendForce. In regards to spot market, there is limited room for further price increases as further observations are required for supply and demand condition in 2Q. Thus, recent spot prices will continue to fluctuate.
