2017 TrendForce Annual IT Industry Forecast Conference

About TrendForce IT Industry Forecast for 2017

As with last year, the state of the global economy remains shaky in 2016, and the global IT sector has struggled to make progress in the year’s first half. TrendForce’s latest analysis finds markets for smartphones and other end-application products have become highly saturated this year. To survive and succeed in the highly competitive environment, branded electronics makers have given a lot of efforts to differentiate their products. This in turn creates new opportunities for key electronic components and advanced technologies, such as 3D-NAND Flash and AMOLED. Moreover, growth and innovations in areas such as the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles and mobile-based services have led to new development trends in various industries. Other emerging technologies that have contributed to the extraordinarily level of excitement in this year’s market include augmented and virtual reality, smart robots and biotechnology.

Next year, the global technology sector can expect bigger changes brought about by the latest wave of innovations. TrendForce and Topology Research Institute (TRI) is delighted to hold the 2017 TrendForce Annual IT Industry Forecast Conference. This event features outstanding analysts from TrendForce’s research divisions: DRAMeXchange, WitsView, TRI and the newly formed biotechnology team. Conference attendees will receive valuable insights on development trends in the global IT industry and other advanced sectors for 2017. Major topics to be presented in the conference are as follow:

Key Trends in Component Industries for 2017

consumer electronics, DRAM, NAND Flash and display panels

Emerging Technologies and Innovative Technological Applications for 2017

AR/VR, automotive electronics, innovations in the IC industry, communication technologies and mobile-based services, cloud computing and IoT, AI, robotics and the global biotechnology sector
