Current Trend of Display Industry 2018
Pune, Maharashtra, India, February 12, 2018 —The display panels are expected to be oversupplied in 2019 and beyond, while being undersupplied till 2018 as various players are establishing new Gen 6 and above facilities. Samsung’s decision of closing LCD plants and investing in OLED facilities created undersupply in the LCD market; hence, several Chinese panel manufacturers ramped up their production to fill the supply gap. BOE, with its Gen 10.5 facility, is expected to become a leading supplier of TFT-LCDs, in terms of panel area, 2019 onwards. Larger sheets will eventually increase the production capabilities of panel suppliers. Revenues of large panel suppliers increased 12% Y-o-Y in 2017 and the display panel area shipments for large applications (>9 inches) increased by 10 million square meters. There was a significant growth in unit shipments in 2017 as compared to 2016. According to Mr. Sachin Garg – Associate Director at MarketsandMarkets, Revenue growth is expected to continue till 2019 due to the increasing penetration of high-priced panels offering better resolution, wide viewing angle, and attractive design. The growth in area production will continue in the coming years due to ever-increasing average panel size for various applications; however, saturated unit shipments will affect the ASPs of panels, 2019 onwards.
