Due to downstream manufacturers pulling in orders early, the panel market's peak season isn't as prosperous as expected. Senior analyst Chen Jianzhu from IDC mentioned that brands have reduced their orders for the third quarter, estimating around a 7% decrease in TV panel and monitor panel shipments, and a 1% decrease in laptop panel shipments. With reduced panel procurement, market prices are expected to loosen in July. Overall, the peak season in the second quarter will be the highest of the year, and TV and IT panel shipments are projected to decrease further in the fourth quarter.
