Spreadtrum is China’s largest supplier of smartphone application processors (APUs) and the first vendor to sell discrete APUs. In 2014, Spreadtrum’s sales went from black to red because the manufacturer was focusing on TD-SCDMA products – unable to react quickly enough to China’s smartphone subsidy reversal, Spreadtrum’s shipments cooled rapidly. Boosted by WCDMA shipments as well as orders from international manufacturers like Samsung, the APU maker’s sales warmed again but were significantly weaker than in the previous year...
Worldwide mobile DRAM revenue reached US$3.576 billion in the first quarter, a decline of less than 1% QoQ. Mobile memory sales accounted for 29.8% of total DRAM industry revenue. In the first quarter of 2015, mobile DRAM shipments increased by 8.2% QoQ, boosted by added 23nm production from Samsung. Furthermore, as average selling prices for mobile DRAM have been relatively steady, global mobile DRAM revenue will only continue to grow...
Seasonality resulted in NAND flash oversupply in the first quarter, bringing average chip price down by nearly 10%. NAND flash vendors’ revenues decreased compared to the fourth quarter. TrendForce slight oversupply to continue in the first half of the second quarter, but as new smartphones hit the market beginning in late May and SSD demand picks up, NAND flash market supply and demand should be balanced in the second half of the year...
Worldwide mobile DRAM revenue amounted to US$3.607 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing 27.8% of DRAM industry value and a 4.2% QoQ increase. In 2014, mobile DRAM shipments accounted for nearly 40% of all DRAM shipments, more than ever before. Although mobile memory average selling price fell by 5% in the fourth quarter, benefitting from sustained smartphone demand growth – from the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in particular – bit shipment volume is increasing, and global mobile DRAM revenue continues to rise...
Looking at in the fourth quarter of 2014, OEM mobile device shipments peaked due to seasonality – the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in particular – contributing to balanced supply and demand for the NAND Flash market. NAND Flash suppliers experienced steady revenue growth, and operating margins were on par with third quarter figures...
Chinese smartphone makers broke records in 2014, with yearly shipment volume
amounting to 453 million units, a 54.8% YoY increase...
Reviewing the NAND flash market in the third quarter, strong demand from Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus helped balance out excess NAND flash supply and resulted in a 5-6% QoQ increase in average NAND flash contract price. NAND flash suppliers' operating margins were generally better than in the second quarter...
Worldwide mobile DRAM revenue increased by 6.0% QoQ to US$3.46 billion in the third quarter, representing 29% of DRAM industry value. As global DRAM supply remains tight, despite a slight decline in mobile memory prices, due to increased bit output, industry value still rose in the third quarter...
Global mobile DRAM revenue amounted to US$3.3 billion in the second quarter, accounting for 31% of DRAM industry value, a slight increase over 29% in the first quarter. As DRAM supply is tight worldwide, mobile DRAM prices stabilized in the second quarter. Furthermore, with Chinese smartphone brands on the rise and the spread of 4G networks, mobile DRAM shipments have been strong, pushing industry value to grow by 12% QoQ in the second quarter...
Reviewing the NAND flash market in the second quarter, although OEMs began restocking in June, NAND flash supply exceeded demand in April and May. As a result, average NAND flash selling price fell by 5-10% QoQ in the second quarter, and suppliers saw a decrease in revenue and operating margins...
