Demand for the fourth quarter of 2016 is forecast to remain strong
September and October, panel makers continue to substantially increase the price, reflecting the supply shortage. As TV manufacturers are facing a critical moment in short supply, so panel makers in the supply chain bargaining that still occupy a more favorable position. 32-inch panel prices are still rising, but its growth rate is lower than in August.
China Taiwan and South Korea panel makers on the 40-inch, 43-inch, 49-inch and 55-inch panel and other specifications once again more than 10 to 15 US dollars.

South Korean panel makers in the fourth quarter of 2016 panel price forecast
In addition, the following data show that the Korean panel makers in the fourth quarter of 2016 panel price forecast:
South Korean panel makers believe that, according to current demand, LCD TV panel prices in 2016 in the fourth quarter to maintain steady growth. Samsung Display expects to raise its panel prices by December.
Samsung Video Display Division needs 180-200 million panels per month, but the Samsung display company can only provide 130-150 million panels, so the supply shortage situation will continue. Samsung Display believes that other panel makers for the Samsung Video Display Division to provide the supply will also be limited.
Samsung Video Display Division uses airfreight to supply panels to its global factories, rather than shipping. Which means that the Division is currently facing a serious shortage of resources in the retail panel.
Following the peak of the third quarter of 2016, the Chinese TV manufacturers in the fourth quarter of 2016 did not significantly reduce the display company from Samsung and LG display panel procurement plan. Chinese TV manufacturers will not adjust the panel inventory in the fourth quarter of 2016, which means that the fourth quarter of 2016, the possibility of panel oversupply lower.
Samsung TV plans to ship 48 to 49 million LCD TVs in 2016, but to meet supply chain demand, the Samsung Video Display division will need to purchase about 53 to 55 million LCD TV panels. This means that the business unit in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2017 will not stop the first quarter of procurement.
LG Display Inc. and Samsung Display Inc. remain cautious about the first quarter of 2017. Both companies believe that TV makers will eventually have to reduce demand, so as to curb rising panel prices, but it will also be reflected in the retail sector. LG Display Corp. and Samsung Display Corp. said panel prices in the first quarter of 2017 will not fall sharply as the market supply in 2017 will remain scarce as demand for all sizes grows faster than capacity growth.
Panel prices soaring, because the machine manufacturers must be in the hot season to carry out promotional activities. If there is no promotional activities, the final market demand will be significantly reduced. Therefore, the TV manufacturers must sacrifice profits. Samsung TV, LG Electronics and many Chinese TV makers have made a profit in the first half, so they can suffer a decline in profitability over time. The question is how long this time will last. Machine manufacturers may have to because panel prices soared and gradually give up sales.
As the Korean panel makers gradually reduce attention on the 32-inch panel, is likely to further improve the 40-inch and 43-inch panel prices. 40-inch and 43-inch LCD panel from September onwards a strong market price rise, and this momentum will continue in the fourth quarter of 2016. |
