TrendForce: Demand for TV panels rebounded in August, prompting stockpiling in anticipation of the strong seasonal demand at the end of the year.

TrendForce has released its panel price trend forecast for August: In August 2026, TV panel prices are expected to continue their downward trend, while the prices of monitor and laptop panels are anticipated to remain unchanged. As August begins, overall demand for TV panels is gradually picking up. After adjusting at the end of the second quarter, brand clients are starting to boost their inventories in response to the increasing demand for the year-end peak season. Several major brand clients hope to achieve their annual targets and expand market share through strong shipments during the peak season, which is why they are looking to keep panel procurement costs low. For panel manufacturers, as demand momentum begins to warm up in the third quarter, the room for price concessions will gradually shrink. Observing the TV panel price trends for August, it is expected that prices for sizes ranging from 32 inches to 75 inches will drop by $1, with the rate of decline beginning to converge.
