根据全球市场研究机构TrendForce集邦咨询调查显示,今年第一季度NAND Flash市场持续面临供过于求的挑战,导致价格持续下滑,供应商面临亏损困境。
该机构认为,NAND Flash市场供需结构将有望在下半年显著改善,包含原厂减产、智能手机库存去化、AI及DeepSeek效应等因素将推升NAND Flash需求,从而缓解供过于求的局面,预期下半年也将迎来价格回升。
半导体周期正受益于AI需求拉动而上行。
根据SIA数据,全球半导体销售额(三月平均)截至2024年10月,已连续12个月同比正增长,预示半导体周期正处于上升周期,需求端来看,机构认为AI带来的云端和终端芯片增量需求有望成为本轮半导体周期上行的主要推动因素。
花旗发表报告指出,中芯国际及华虹半导体均公布去年第四季业绩,由于国内需求回暖,两间公司收入分别按年增长32%及18%。由于技术迁移持续进行,中芯季内毛利率回升幅度较大,达至22.6%;至于华虹的毛利率为11.4%,较去年第三季的12.2%有所回落。该行称,中芯与华虹对近期需求持乐观态度,主要由于客户因关税担忧而提前下单,并受惠于政策支持。
中芯期望今年取得高于行业平均水平的增长。
