Global Electronic Display Market

Electronic Display Market: Insights

Electronic displays are used to present images, text, and videos electronically. The growing use of electronic displays in various consumer electronics like televisions, computers, and handheld devices like mobiles and tablets are expected to be major drivers of the growing electronic display market. The electronic displays market has grown rapidly in recent years owing to various technological advancements like LEDs and OLEDs. With new technologies increasing the quality of the screens through better high-quality images and videos, consumers are increasingly adapting to the changes by purchasing the newer models. LEDs and OLEDs offer greater resolutions, better brightness, and are more durable than their older counterparts like LCDs. The growing purchasing power of consumers and falling costs of electronic devices are expected to increase the demand for electronic displays. AMOLED screens are becoming increasingly common in new models on mobile phones and OLEDs are slowly growing in popularity. Electronic displays are also becoming increasingly popular for advertisement as electronic screens offer easier installations and advertisements can be easily changed compared to traditional print media.

Electronic Display Market: By Technology

Based on the various electronic display technologies available, the electronic display market can be segmented into LED, LCD, OLED, and others. The LCD segment is expected to hold the dominant share of the market during the forecast period. LCDs have been used extensively and are still in demand despite new technologies like LED becoming popular. LCDs are used in consumer electronics like personal computers and televisions. LCDs have low energy consumption and are cheaper than LEDs and OLEDs. LCD screens are used in handheld devices that operate on a battery as they have very low energy consumption. LCDs were one of the first technological advancements in the electronic display market. LCDs have enjoyed very high popularity and have been the gold standard for electronic displays for a long time. OLED segment is expected to register the fastest growth rate among all segments. OLEDs have a wider viewing angle, nearly unlimited color contrast, wider color gamut, and can be made into various shapes. OLEDs are also thinner than LCDs and are more aesthetic and lighter than LCDs. The growing advancements in OLED technology are expected to increase the demand for OLEDs during the forecast period. OLEDs are expected to have lower energy consumption than LCDs but are slightly more expensive than LCDs as they require expensive materials like phosphorous or electroluminescent materials. OLEDs are beginning to be increasingly used on televisions and mobile devices owing to their better picture quality and thinner screen sizes.

Electronic Display Market: By Application

Based on the various applications of electronic displays, the electronic display market can be segmented into consumer electronics, digital signage, automotive display, and others. The consumer electronics segment is expected to hold the lion’s share of the market during the forecast period. Electronic displays are the most basic components in almost any consumer electronics. Electronic displays are vital as users prefer to have a greater degree of control and understanding of the electronics they purchase. Consumer electronics like mobiles, laptops, and tablets are becoming increasingly popular. With new models coming out every year, consumers are constantly upgrading their devices frequently which has increased the demand for consumer electronics. The growing number of electronics manufacturers especially in the APAC region is one of the major drivers of the growth of the consumer electronics segment. Televisions that use LEDs and OLEDs are also becoming increasingly popular and consumers are increasingly upgrading to LEDs and OLEDs which is expected to increase the demand for LEDs and OLEDs which will, in turn, drive the growth of the electronic display market. The consumer electronics segment is also expected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.

Electronic Display Market: By End-User

Based on the end-users of electronic displays, the electronic display market can be segmented into retail, entertainment, corporate, healthcare, government, and others. The entertainment segment is expected to hold the dominant share of the market during the forecast period. The growing demand for mobile gaming, gaming consoles, gaming computers is one of the major drivers of this segment.
