Market Insights

Flexible displays are primarily OLED and AMOLED displays that are either curved, bent, or completely bendable and foldable. In the current market scenario, consumer electronics manufacturers have been offering numerous smartphones, television sets, and other display devices in a rigid curved form factor. Although these displays are curved as opposed to the traditional, rigid flat ones, they do not offer true flexibility to the end-users.

Such displays can make use of various substrates, ranging from glass, plastic, or metal, of which plastic and metal offer lightness and enhanced durability. With the growing popularity of curved displays, there has been an increasing interest in the commercial applications of flexible displays as commercially viable end products. Some of the key applications of truly flexible displays being considered currently include smartphones, wearables, television sets, automotive displays, virtual reality (VR) devices, laptops, and tablets, among others.

One of the major factors driving the demand for flexible displays is the increasing need for innovation in the smartphone industry. For over a decade, the smartphone industry has witnessed immense technological advancements in the fields of processors, sensors, cameras, and other software capabilities.

In addition, there has also been a tremendous leap in the display technology used in some of the flagship phones available on the market. However, the rigidity of the displays has constrained the change in a smartphone’s form factor. With the use of flexible displays, leading smartphone manufacturers are aiming toward the design and development of foldable smartphones in the near future.

Thereby, the requirement to provide a unique experience to the end-users has been primarily driving the demand for flexible displays. Another key area of interest for the flexible display market lies in the wearables industry. Incorporation of flexible displays into the current wearable devices would enable providers to offer enhanced functionality and features in small electronic devices.

However, factors such as a lack of designs for commercial electronics products have resulted in the limited manufacturing of flexible displays. Leading manufacturers, including Samsung Display, LG Display, and Royole Corporation, among others, have been heavily investing in building higher production capacities in order to reduce the average cost of flexible displays. Thereby, the prospects for the flexible display market look promising in the following years.
