GENERAL INFORMATION:

Industrial Trend

After the peak of panel price in the TFT-LCD market in June of 2002, demand was not as good as expected. The panel price dropped due to the down-stream manufacturers faced the pressure to reduce their stocks on one hand; and the launch of the fifth generation of panel from South Korean brought about a predicted oversupply of the product on the other. Even though the first quarter of 2003 saw a slight rise of monitor panel price in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, the likelihood reducing demand because of such price increase did not materialize owing to the concerned monitor manufacturers are cautious in increasing their product prices. This suits the panel manufacturers. As the 17’’ display being the mainstream in the market, industry dealers all rush to readjust their production lines to produce the 17’’ display, in addition, industry dealers in Taiwan and South Korea actively plan to put next generation panel into production, which will enlarge the market supply in the future. Consequently, 17’’ panel is estimated to reduce in the second quarter of 2003. As far as 15’’ panel is concerned, its price is expected to increase, due to decreasing supply caused by 17’’ panel. Another reason is that part of the manufacturers of 15” panels are still suffering losses, they intend to make up the deficit by price increase.

Fortunately, quite a number of the western large-sized companies, as a result of their original OEM manufacturers in South Korea are developing their own branded products, start to switch their orders to Taiwan, this will definitely help local manufacturers here in the second quarter of the year. When it comes to the influences of SARS epidemic, domestic TFT-LCD panel manufacturers suffer slightly, because most of production bases are located in Taiwan. But if the situation is not brought under control quickly, it will have negative effects for sure.
