[Core Information] Two major distributors refresh annual revenue, Samsung cuts production of NAND flash memory
1. Changes in the distribution pattern: Wenye and Dalianda’s revenue surged, both hitting record highs
Dalianda: Full-year revenue in 2024 increased by 31%, exceeding NT$800 billion for the first timeAnnual revenue reached
NT$880.61 billion (approximately NT$197.64 billion), a year-on-year increase of 31%; December revenue was NT$83.58 billion, a year-on-year increase of 44%.Main reasons for growth
Generative AIThis has driven an explosion in demand for components such as servers, power supplies, PCs, and mobile phones.
Wenye Technology: Annual growth of 61%, ranking first in the worldfull year revenue
NT$959.4 billion (approximately US$29.75 billion), a year-on-year increase of 61%; Q4 revenue was NT$261.9 billion, an annual increase of 38%, setting a new quarterly high.benefit from
Acquisition of Future Electronicsand AI server business (accounting for 38%),
Surpassing Arrow to become the world’s largest chip distributor。
2. Storage market: NAND oversupply, Samsung initiates large-scale production cuts
In response to the continuous price decline (general NAND fell 29.18% in a single month), SamsungSignificant reduction of NAND production capacity at Xi'an factory:
- Monthly production capacity ranges from200,000 wafers reduced to 170,000 wafers, production reduction exceeds 10%
- Simultaneous adjustment of production lines 12/17 in Hwaseong, South Korea, and overall production capacity shrinks
- Industry linkage:Micron, SK Hynix, KioxiaBoth companies plan to cut production by about 10% to stabilize prices.
3. FPGA industry: Altera becomes independent and the global structure is restructured
Intel's FPGA divisionAltera officially operates independently(Brand relaunch on January 8):
- Acquisition by Silver Lake Capital51% equity($3.3 billion), Intel retains 49%
- becomeThe world's largest independent pure-play FPGA manufacturer, can freely cooperate with TSMC and other
- Planning for 2026 IPO, FocusAgilex seriesand AI/Edge Computing Market
4. PC market: Growth for the first time in three years, AI PC becomes the core of the future
IDC data shows:
- 2024 Global PC Shipments262.7 million units, year-on-year **+1%**, turning positive for the first time in three years
- Q4 shipped 68.9 million units,+1.8%, benefiting from Chinese subsidies and European and American year-end promotions
- AI PC penetration rate increased: Q4 proportion23%(15.4 million units), Apple leads with 54% share
- 2025 Outlook:Windows 10 out of servicePopularization of AI functions will drive a wave of machine replacement
Core highlights: AI drives structural differentiation in distribution and storage; the FPGA and PC markets are simultaneously reaching an inflection point.High-end and intelligentBecome the main line throughout the year.
