According to 36Kr, Omdia's latest Display Panel Production and Inventory Tracking indicates global display panel fab utilization is expected to fall to 80% in October, down 3 percentage points from September. Storage price increases are raising end-device prices and pressuring IT panel demand, with July IT panel production exceeding shipments and inventory pressure rising as manufacturers become more cautious about production to curb price declines.
