Market size
The market for display panels measuring nine inches or larger generated approximately $72 billion in 2025, up from approximately $71 billion in 2024. Separately, the OLED panel market generated $52 billion in 2025, compared with $81 billion for TFT-LCD panels.[15]
Forecast & CAGR
One industry forecast estimates the global display panel market at $172.73 billion in 2026 and $210.68 billion in 2031, implying a 4.05% CAGR from 2026 to 2031. Omdia forecasts large-area unit shipments to reach approximately 0.94 billion units in 2026, up from 0.91 billion in 2025.[61]
Market share & regions
Chinese manufacturers accounted for 63% of the revenue market for panels of nine inches or larger in 2025, followed by Korea at 18%, Taiwan at 15% and Japan at 4%. For large-area LCD shipments, China was forecast to account for 66.7% in 2025, compared with 21.9% for Taiwan and 8.0% for Korea.[15][60]
Segmentation
OLED sales volume reached 1.063 billion units in 2025, compared with 2.526 billion TFT-LCD units. Small-sized mobile panels represented approximately 83% of global OLED panel revenue in 2025, making smartphones and other mobile devices the largest OLED application segment.[15]
Key players & concentration
The large-area market is concentrated among a small group of Asian manufacturers. BOE was expected to lead 2025 large-area shipments with a 35.0% share, followed by China Star at 15.8% and Innolux at 11.3%; LG Display reported a 13.4% revenue share for large-sized panels in 2025.[60][15]
Pricing
Average selling prices for panels of nine inches or larger declined approximately 4% year over year, from about $80 in 2024 to $76 in 2025. Panels smaller than nine inches declined approximately 3%, from about $23 to $22, reflecting intensified competition and manufacturing cost reductions.[15]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Large-area panel shipments grew 2.9% year over year to 910.5 million units in 2025, while shipment area benefited from continued migration toward larger screen sizes. Key challenges include overcapacity, cyclical demand, aggressive pricing by Chinese producers and restructuring by Korean and Japanese LCD suppliers.[60][15]
Consumer behavior & competition
Competition is centered on product specifications, price, availability, capacity allocation, reliability and customer support. OLED adoption is expanding beyond smartphones into televisions, monitors, tablets, notebooks, wearables, automotive displays and AR/VR products, while LCD remains the dominant flat-panel technology.[15]
Regulation
In the European Union, Regulation (EU) 2019/2021 applies ecodesign requirements to televisions, computer monitors and digital signage displays, while Regulation (EU) 2019/2013 establishes energy-label requirements. The rules include energy-use limits, repair and spare-parts requirements, information availability and an A-to-G efficiency label.[62][63]
Latest news
Omdia reported in January 2026 that 2025 large-area display shipments reached 910.5 million units, up 2.9% year over year. The company also identified BOE as the expected shipment leader with a 35.0% share, while noting that pricing pressure from Chinese panel makers caused some non-Chinese suppliers to reduce monitor LCD production.[60]
