OLED displays in the automotive sector, by substrate type
The data and forecasts provided in the report are the result of extensive research including interviews with key providers of OLED materials, manufacturing equipment, panel makers and OEMs. For each of the applications above IDTechEx provides detailed assessments of the markets including the technology requirements, technology roadmap and the impact of competitive technologies, which all feed in to our forecasting model.
Growing Industry but Underlying Technology is Changing
In 2020, IDTechEx expect that the OLED display business will be $34.3 Billion, up from $30.3 Billion in 2019. There has been significant investment in OLED display manufacture from panel makers mainly based in China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The investment is coming from the need to differentiate products with better screens and new form factors, with plastic based OLEDs being the norm (in rigid format) leading to foldable displays, which were a false start in 2019 but will be rapidly improved.
2018-2019 OLED displays by area and value
OLEDs for cellphones dominate the OLED sector, comprising of 78% of the OLED market revenue in 2020. The second largest sector are OLED TVs which are 17% of the total market by revenue in 2020. Despite being 17% of the revenue, OLED TVs are 43% of the OLED market by area of display. The third largest OLED application is wearables, which is 2% of the total OLED display market value and 0.3% by area in 2020. The thinness, flexibility and appearance of the display are desirable in may wearable applications versus LCDs.
Historic data from 2017 is provided as a reference in addition to forecasts to 2030.
