OLED Panel Market Analysis
The OLED Panel Market size is estimated at USD 51.63 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 95.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.19% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
OLED is a significant display technology trend, with larger screen sizes, improved 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) resolution, and relatively new form factors. For quite some time, companies like Samsung and LG have experimented with flexible OLED displays. Samsung, in particular, uses curved flexible OLED panels for all of its flagship devices now.
- OLEDs make it possible for emissive displays, where each pixel is independently controlled and generates its light (unlike LCDs, which get their light from a backlighting unit). OLED displays provide excellent visual quality, including vivid colors, quick motion, and, most significantly, a high contrast ratio. Most notably, "real" blacks (LCDs can't produce due to the illumination). Additionally, the straightforward OLED architecture makes it very simple to manufacture flexible and transparent panels.
- Due to multiple advantages with viewing angles and black levels, OLED Televisions are surging in demand in several regions. According to the ICDM, contrast modulation in qualifying a TV resolution is more critical than pure pixel count, and OLED TV displays cater to this demand.
- Based on market diffusion models, flexible OLEDs are anticipated to observe a high market penetration in the foreseen period. With the maturity of smartphones in many significant markets, such as China, smartphone manufacturers are developing new, foldable phone models that incorporate flexible OLEDs and further have a massive potential for growth over the next few years.
- Mass production enables companies to reach economies of scale, thereby benefiting the device manufacturers by reducing the overall price of the device. Only a few TV manufacturers currently use OLEDs, as the technology is considered too expensive for the mid-range market. Many fitness bands and simple smartwatch devices adopt PMOLED displays.
- For instance, Fitbit's Charge band uses a small monochrome (white) PMOLED display. The thickness, flexibility, and appearance of OLEDs show make it a promising technology for wearable applications over LCDs. Further, based on simple deterministic extrapolation, the demand for quantum dots-based OLED display panels is anticipated to surge exponentially in the forecast period.
