Market Dynamics

Rising Demand for Flexible Wearable

The growing demand for flexible smart wearables is a key factor driving the global flexible display market. To meet this growing demand key players are investing in R&D for innovative product launches. For instance, in October 2023, Motorola unveiled a bendable smartphone concept whose display can change shape as per needs. Further, in July 2021, Xiaomi announced to launch of Mi Band X with a flexible display. The Mi Band X will be lighter and thinner with a curved 360-degree display, which wraps around the device’s band.

High Demand for Flexible display

Flexible displays are lightweight, bendable, ultra-thin, shatter-proof, unbreakable, portable, and have low energy consumption these features make them highly suitable to carry. Therefore, the benefits offered by flexible displays compared to conventional rigid displays are a key contributor to the market growth. The most significant advantage of flexible displays is their durability. Since this screen can be bent and manipulated, it tends to absorb fall and collision impact better than solid glass structures currently in application. 

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global flexible display market includes the following segments-

  • Based on the display type, the market is sub-segmented into OLED, LCD, Electronic Paper Display (EPD), and Other (LED). 
  • Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into smartphone & tablets, smart wearable, digital signage systems, and other (automotive).

OLED Display to Exhibit Highest GAGR

Based on the application, the global flexible display market is sub-segmented into The growing demand for flexible smartphones is a key contributor to the high growth of this market segment. Smartphone display is conventionally rigid due to the glass layer used over its display screen. The OLED technology has removed the need for a glass layer. The high flexibility of this display has increased its application in consumer electronics such as laptops, wearables, and TVs. Further, this technology offers elegant and energy-efficient displays and lighting panels. Several fitness brands have adopted PMOLED displays in their smart wearable devices.

Regional Outlook

The global flexible display market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

High Manufacturing Capability in Asia-Pacific 

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to considerable share during the forecast period. The high manufacturing capability of regional players due to economic labor charges, and availability of raw material is a key contributor to the regional market growth. The high concentration of key players across the region is further aiding the regional market growth.
