Global tablet shipments rise over 20% sequentially in 3Q22 driven by Apple orders, says DIGITIMES Research

Global tablet shipments reached 38.4 million units in the third quarter of 2022, slightly better than DIGITIMES Research originally anticipated, driven mainly by increased orders from Apple, which saw tablet shipments disrupted by China’s COVID-19 lockdowns implemented in cities of the Yangtze Delta, and other brand vendors’ keen promotions on tablets, according to DIGITIMES Research’s latest figures.

富采等台厂积极转型,锁定感测、车用等领域

LED产业持续转型,今年前三季LED封装厂持续缴获利财报,综观各家厂商法说会,2023年感测、车用成为转型亮点,感测订单去中化,有转单来台潜力;电动车中控板的新设计,带动LED使用量十倍速攀升,新应用、新设计有利于台厂转型。

LED封装厂前三季维持获利,由于相关厂长年获利且配息,以今年前三季获利进度来看,2023年LED封装厂仍有盈余分配。

值得注意的是,感测、车用成为LED产业转型的亮点,富采在法说会上指出,即使第四季到明年第一季是感测的淡季,但是不少国际客户前来洽谈相关合作,这是好的迹象。

此外在汽车应用上,富采指出,车外高亮度红、黄光的应用比率提升,加上电动车的中控板设计转为独立式,直下式背光取代侧入式背光,带动LED的消耗量从40颗攀升至800颗,将激励车用背光的成长;而高级车的氛围灯比例提升,也属于高阶应用。

台湾地区LED封装厂转型路线分道扬镳,对于持续扩大营收规模已没太大兴趣,从各公司法说释出的风向球来看,宏齐、李洲选择切入半导体产业;艾笛森积极转进汽车应用;龙头亿光则扩大多元应用,车用、感测、IR、MiniLED背光多路并进,纵使今年以来景气逐季下滑,第三季旺季不旺,但是第三季LED封装厂普遍交出获利财报,累计今年前三季每股盈余逾1元的公司包括亿光、立碁、宏齐、弘凯等。

而LED芯片厂上季表现相对有压力,但也可见转型效果,以富采为例,尽管旗下晶电、隆达双双转亏,但扣除权益法的转投资亏损,第三季财报落在损平之间,相较于合并之前的大幅度赤字,抗寒体质已有转变。

富采统计,高阶应用(感测、车用、植物照明、MiniLED)营收占比从2019年的20%,至今年前三季已逾55%,这些应用门槛相对较高,竞争对手切入不易,在应用分散之下,希望维持企业韧性,降低景气波动的冲击。(来源:工商时报)
