Display Material Market by Technology (LCD, OLED), Component & Material (Substrate, Polarizer, Color Filter, Liquid Crystals, BLU, Emitter & Organic Layer, Encapsulation), Panel Type, Application (Smartphone, Television), Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The display material market was valued at USD 28.87 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 34.60 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.1% between 2017 and 2023. Construction and upgrade of display panel manufacturing plants in APAC, increasing average screen size and resolution of television units, and increased adoption of OLED display technology in various applications significantly drive the market growth.
High growth of OLED and quantum dot LCDs as well as emerging technologies such as micro-LED and true quantum dot are expected to provide good growth opportunities for display material providers in the future. Exclusivity and IP protection of advanced technologies is preventing entry of new players in the market for these advanced technologies, thus slightly hindering the growth of the display material market.
“The emitter and organic layer materials to dominate the OLED display material market during the forecast period”
Emitter and organic layer materials held the largest share of the OLED display material market in 2016. Emitter and organic layer include various sub-layers such as emitting layer (emissive material) (EML) (RGB), hole transport layer (HTL) and hole injection layer (HIL), and electron transport layer (ETL) and electron injection layer (EIL). The industry leaders have increased their investments to improve these materials and to subsequently obtain improved energy-efficiency and increased lifetime. The market for substrates is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. There is a continuous demand for high-quality and thin substrate sheets from OLED display panel manufacturers. Flexible displays are manufactured on plastic substrates, whereas glass substrates are used to produce rigid OLEDs.
“The display material market in China is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period”
The demand for display materials from China is expected to increase rapidly during the forecast period as various Chinese players such as BOE, CSOT, Tianma, and Truly are constructing several LCD and OLED plants. A large number of operations related to LCD displays are being shifted to Mainland China owing to the favorable government policies and lower costs associated with logistics operations concerning the delivery of end products in the display panel market. South Korea accounted for the largest share of display material market in 2016 owing to the presence of industry leaders such as Samsung and LG.

LCD held larger share of display material market in 2016
Despite the decline in unit shipments, production area of LCD displays increased in 2016, and the trend is expected to continue till 2019. Samsung and LG decreased their LCD production capacity in 2015 and 2016; however, BOE Technology, CSOT, Tianma, and Truly are rapidly increasing their production capacity. Several Chinese companies are also planning to construct new LCD manufacturing plants by 2018, which would further increase the LCD display production. Polarizing films dominated the LCD display material market, accounting for the largest share in 2016. The substrate sheets followed the polarizers, in terms of the market share.
OLED display material market to grow rapidly during forecast period
Being an emissive technology, pixels in OLED display act as light as well as color source. This benefits the OLED display panel manufacturers with regard to producing thin display panels and requiring less materials or components. Samsung and LG have made huge investments in the OLED technology in the past 3 years.
The OLED display material market for substrates is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. There is a continuous demand for high-quality and thin substrate sheets from OLED display panel manufacturers. Flexible displays are manufactured on plastic substrates, while rigid substrates are manufactured on glass substrates.
Television application to account for largest share of LCD display material market during forecast period
Television application accounted the largest share of the LCD display material market in 2016. Televisions account for a smaller share of the market than smartphones, in terms of unit shipments; however, in terms of area production, televisions account for the largest market share. The demand for televisions is declining year-over-year (y-o-y) since 2015; however, the average panel size is increasing by few inches per year. This has led to the increased consumption of display materials used in LCD display panels for the television application.
South Korea accounted for largest share of display material market in 2016
South Korea accounted for the largest share of display material market in 2016 owing to the presence of industry leaders such as Samsung and LG. The South Korean LCD display material market witnessed sluggish growth in 2016 and 2017 due to the closure of various LCD plants by Samsung and LG. However, the demand for OLED materials would eventually increase in the country as these 2 players are producing the largest stack of OLED panels.
