DRAMeXchange: Outperformed DRAM demand in slow season expected high level in 2Q10

Mar. 10th,2010------According to DRAMeXchange, 1H’Mar. DRAM contract price still contain its momentum that most price quotation remains same. Some vendors mildly adjust up 2%-3% DDR3 price that out DDR3 2GB ”Low “price and “Average” price consistently locates at US$41.5 and US$43 respectively.

DRAM需求淡季不減 Q2 價格預期仍維持高檔

Mar 10th,2010------集邦科技調查,三月上旬DDR3及DDR2合約均價仍維持在高檔,大多數以持平開出,小部份有調漲DDR3約2%-3%,但2GB”低點”及”均價”仍維持在41.5美元及43美元。高點則從44美元上漲至46美元,漲幅約4.5%左右,主要是南科在DDR3的供給量少而堅持高價,DDR2在供給減少的隱憂下,合約價也以持平開出。
 
集邦科技認為,以目前的供需狀況,第二季價格下跌空間不大,DRAM廠在經歷常久的虧損後,今年可持續維持全年每季度都獲利,以三星為例,DRAM全年營利率(OP Margin )可望維持在30%, 台系廠商隨著成本下降,全年營利率將持續往上。
 

LEDinsid公佈2009年全球LED封裝廠營收排名

Mar. 10th,2010-----根據研究機構LEDinside統計,去年全球LED封裝廠的營收總合達到80.5億美元,相較2008年成長5%。較值得注意的是,Samsung LED在三星集團的支援下,營收排名由2008年的十名以外竄升到去年的全球第四名,為全球成長最為快速的LED廠商。
 
以個別廠商營收觀察,較早切入大尺寸背光市場的LED供應商,營收都在金融海嘯中逆勢成長,例如Samsung LED、首爾半導體、豐田合成等廠商。排名上,去年日亞化仍居全球第一名。其次是OSRAM Opto.與CREE等傳統LED大廠,台灣廠商光寶、億光也都入榜前十名。

WitsView: 反射式電子書閱讀器的成長關鍵,在於內容的搭售與市場的鎖定

Apple iPad的問世,大幅提昇世人對電子閱讀器市場的注目度。以目前主流的反射式電子書閱讀器產品(以下簡稱電子閱讀器)來說,WitsView預估今年的市場規模約在750萬台,未來滲透速度要加快,還得搭配更靈活的市場策略。
 

WitsView: Market growth of reflective electronic reading device hinges on content expansion and market segmentation

The advent of Apple iPad significantly attracted global attention to the electronic reading device market. According to WitsView, an industry research institute, market scale of mainstream reflective electronic reading device (e-readers) is estimated at 7.5 million units in 2010.

WitsView: Large-sized panel shipments falls by 8.2% MoM in Jan11 as traditional hot selling season draws to a close

According to the latest surveys conducted by WitsView, a subsidiary of Trendforce, large-sized panel shipments fell by 8.2% MoM to 52.23 million units in Jan11.

WitsView: In 1Q10, despite lower-than-expected decline of material costs, panel makers’ profitability will improve substantially

Based on the past experience, the first quarter is a time of traditionally slow season for the panel industry, as well as a time of the most dramatic price decline in component prices. However, market conditions are quite different this quarter.

WitsView:本季材料成本降幅雖不如預期,但面板廠獲利仍將出現明顯改善

依照過去經驗,第一季屬於面板產業傳統的需求淡季,也成為相關零組件價格下滑最劇烈的一個季度。然而本季的情況卻有很大的不同。WitsView研究經理邱宇彬表示,訂單的減少與利潤的下滑不但是引發面板廠要求材料廠商降價的兩大動機,同時也成為其議價時最有利的後盾。然而目前淡季不淡的需求讓面板出貨量一直在高檔盤旋,而呈現漲勢的面板價格更讓面板廠的獲利不降反升,兩者皆大幅地削弱了面板廠的要價氣勢,也間接影響到材料廠商配合降價的意願。除此之外,新奇美成軍後所造成的供應鏈洗牌效應也尚未發酵,零組件廠商彼此間降價搶單的情況並不多見,也讓1Q10整體材料成本下滑的情況不若以往。
