ITC today announced that Taiwanese and Chinese PV products exported to the U.S. have caused substantial damages to the U.S. PV industry. Henceforth, DOC will take over the following administrative processes and announce the anti-subsidy and anti-dumping tariffs by the end of March and mid-June, respectively.
Based on the survey of Taiwanese LCD TV SI makers’ shipment by WitsView, the display research division of the global intelligence provider TrendForce, Taiwanese SI makers’ LCD TV shipment for Q4 2013 surged 17.5% QoQ to 10.28 million units, dipping 6.4% YoY. The full-year shipment was weaker than expected, only 35.85 million units, declining 5.4% YoY. Due to the traditional slow season in Q1, the SI shipment drop is comparable to brands’ shipment decline, further trimming by 23-25%.
