Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Taiwanese Small and Medium Size TFT-LCD Panel Industry, 1Q 2016" report to their offering.
This report provides Taiwanese small and medium size TFT-LCD panel shipment volume and value forecasts, as well as recent quarter review of shipment volume, shipment value, manufacturer volume rankings, shipment by maker, and in-house module production. Also included are product mix analyses, including major applications such as mobile phone, PDA/PND, DSC, DVC, portable DVD, MP3/MP4 player, office applications, automotive, and industrial equipment, as well as panel sizes. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with small and medium size TFT-LCD panel makers.
This report finds that shipment volume of the Taiwanese small and medium size TFT-LCD panels dipped in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 283.3 million units, down 6.7% sequentially. The industry's shipment volume in the first quarter of 2016 is expected to continuously fall to 261.9 million units, down another 7.6% sequentially, due to seasonality and increasing production capacity of Chinese vendors.
