The global display panel market is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period which may be attributed to the globally growing demand for smartphones, televisions, and other electronic devices that comprises displays. The growing disposable income, urbanization, and increasing propensity of the consumer to spend on consumer electronics have been some of the most prominent reasons for the high demand for display panels, particularly in emerging economies such as China, India, and Vietnam among others. Growing participation by the market players in the form of increased R&D budgets for the launch of new and enhanced products coupled with the increasing investments in new manufacturing facilities with an aim to meet the growing consumer demand and gain a competitive edge in the market also shows the potential for the growth of the display panel market in the given time frame. Similarly, the increased usage of displays for emerging applications such as vehicles, digital signage, and others further expands the business growth opportunities for the market players over the course of the next five years. Additionally, the increased demand for wearable devices such as smart bands, smartwatches, and fitness trackers among others also provides an impetus for market growth in the near future.
The advent of COVID-19 will have a moderate impact on the market growth since the outbreak led to a disruption in the supply chain activities during the short run due to trade restrictions that further led to a slump in manufacturing activities. However, in the second half restrictions were eased off and industries went back to normal. Also, the high demand for electronics such as laptops and smartphones amid the pandemic further led to significant demand, thus, leading to positive yet slow growth in 2020.
Growing usage of displays for various applications
There has been a growing usage of displays for various emerging applications such as digital signage across several sectors such as sports, media, and entertainment among others. Furthermore, the booming demand for wearable technologies has also played a significant role in shaping the global display panels market growth during the next five years. Also, Digital signage is a staple for modern sports venues and has become an important part of the solution for venue planners and developers. Digital signage has been used for many years but display technology has evolved in recent years, there is a multitude of display applications available beyond scoreboards, Wayfinder, and advertising to communicate relevant targeted messaging to a wide variety of audiences. Thus, a significant increase in the number of sports events globally will supplement the market growth over the next five years. Moreover, increasing investments by stadiums for equipping digital signage technology have further been supplementing the growing demand for displays over the years. For instance, For instance, in April 2019, Capital One Arena, a sports venue in Washington D.C., selected Ping HD and Bright Sign to update its signage by deploying more than 100 Bright Sign LS423 media players connected to Samsung displays resulting in the making of video walls at each concession stand.
On the other hand, a substantial increase in the demand for smartwatches and smart bands, especially in the developed economies of the globe further supplements the demand for display panels as well. The major factor that has driven the adoption of these products is the booming trend of E-health around the globe. This evolution has resulted in the fast global adoption of wearable devices that aids in an uninterrupted transmission of health-related information to service providers. The presence of a vast number of products being offered by both big and small market players also shows the growing potential of the market in the coming five years.
