OLED market revenue, 2025
Market size
OLED display market revenue reached approximately $52 billion in 2025, according to data cited by LG Display from Omdia. The broader large-area display market shipped 910.5 million LCD and OLED panels in the same year.[42][15]
Forecast & CAGR
Omdia forecasts large-area display shipments of about 0.94 billion units in 2026, up from 0.91 billion in 2025. Large-area OLED shipments are forecast to rise 18.8% year over year to 38.8 million units in 2026.[15]
Market share & regions
Manufacturing is concentrated in East Asia. In 2025, BOE held 35.0% of global large-area display shipments, followed by China Star at 15.8% and Innolux at 11.3%; South Korea remained especially strong in OLED, where Samsung Display held 50.9% of large-area OLED unit shipments.[15]
Segmentation
LCD remained the dominant large-area technology in 2025, with estimated shipments of 876.8 million units, while OLED shipments reached approximately 33.7 million. OLED growth was strongest in monitors and notebook PCs, whose shipments increased an estimated 69.3% and 26.8%, respectively, in 2025.[15]
Key players & concentration
The supplier base is highly concentrated: the three largest suppliers—BOE, China Star and Innolux—accounted for 62.1% of large-area display shipments in 2025. In large-area OLED, Samsung Display, LG Display and EDO together represented 97.5% of shipments.[15]
Pricing
Panel pricing remains competitive, although input costs are rising. Omdia reported that LCD TV open-cell cash costs are expected to increase by more than 7% in 2026, while quoted 2026 component increases included 10–15% for driver ICs and 10–15% for glass substrates.[15]
Trends, drivers & challenges
OLED is the principal growth area: large-area OLED shipments are forecast to increase 18.8% in 2026, supported by monitor and IT-device adoption. The main challenges are intense LCD price competition, higher component costs, tariff uncertainty and cautious panel procurement in the second half of 2026.[15]
Consumer behavior & competition
Consumer and enterprise demand is shifting toward premium OLED, high-refresh-rate monitors, foldables and large-format signage, while LCD remains important for price-sensitive applications. In professional signage, Samsung held 43.8% shipment share and LG Electronics 15.3% in the first quarter of 2026.[15]
M&A
Industry consolidation is occurring both in display manufacturing and adjacent solutions. Sharp announced that it would absorb its wholly owned B2B display subsidiary Sharp Display Solutions effective April 1, 2026, while TDK acquired assets from AR-display company OQmented in August 2026 to expand smart-glasses and immersive-display capabilities.[61][62]
Regulation
The European Union regulates electronic-display energy labelling under Regulation (EU) 2019/2013, which has applied since March 1, 2021. The framework requires displays to carry an energy-efficiency classification based on their SDR energy performance.[63]
Latest news
Omdia reported in July 2026 that large-area OLED shipments were expected to reach 38.8 million units in 2026, an 18.8% year-over-year increase. Samsung Electronics reported that its Display business generated KRW 8.0 trillion in revenue and KRW 1.1 trillion in operating profit in the third quarter of 2026.[15][64]
