OLED Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2030

Global OLED Market Overview

The Global OLED technology is made by positioning a number of organic thin films between two conductors. Light is emitted when an electric current is applied to these conductors. These displays do not require backlighting and thus are thinner and efficient as compared to LCD displays. OLED displays provide a better image quality, durability, and have a lower consumption rate as compared to LCD displays.

Usage of OLEDs in smartphones is expected to drive the global OLED market during the forecast period. Top smartphones manufacturers such as Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Sony and many more use OLEDs in their display screen. The global smartphones sales in the first quarter of 2017 had increased by almost 9% as compared to the same period for 2016. Samsung, Apple, and Huawei had a share of 20.7%, 13.7%, and 9% respectively during this period. Further, it is projected that the overall smartphones shipments in 2022 will reach 1.64 billion units. Thus, it is expected that smartphones will fuel the growth of the OLED market during the estimated period.

The increasing sales of TVs play a vital role in the rise of the OLED market. In the first quarter of 2017, global OLED TVs that were priced for more than USD 1,000 had a share of almost 14% as compared to 2.4% in 2015 during the same period. Further, it is estimated that the global OLED TV shipments will increase from 723,000 units in 2016 to 6.6 million units in 2021. Thus, the global OLED market is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast timeframe. However, the burn in issue that occurs on OLED displays will have an adverse effect on the OLED market growth during the analysis period.
