Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Overview

Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Driver

Production capacity expansion of display manufacturers is notably driving the market growth. The expansion of production capacity is one of the major factors driving the growth of the flat panel display equipment market. Display manufacturers are moving toward the production of high-resolution displays for notebooks, smartphones, tablets, and TVs. Therefore, display manufacturers are switching to metal oxide and AMOLED displays for producing ultra-high-resolution displays as they are cost-efficient and energy-efficient. To meet the growing demand of consumers for AMOLEDs, display manufacturers are increasing their production capacity.

For instance, in Aug 2021, LG Display will invest 3.3 trillion won to expand its medium-and-small sized OLED display production capacity. The investment will be used in OLED facilities in South Korea that manufacture sixth-generation (1,500mm x 1,850mm) substrates. Companies are working on ramping up their AMOLED and TFT LCD fabs. As the manufacturer expands the production capacity of high-resolution displays for notebooks, smartphones, tablets, and TVs, this will drive the growth of the global flat panel display equipment market during the forecast period.

Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Trends

Increasing adoption of touch-enabled digital signage is an emerging trend shaping the market growth.  The increasing adoption of touch-enabled digital signage is one of the major trends driving the growth of the flat panel display equipment market. Interactive Digital Signage refers to a form of digital display technology that allows users to interact with the content being displayed through touchscreens, gesture control, or other input methods. Advancements in display technologies, such as high-resolution screens and multi-touch capabilities, are constantly improving the interactive digital signage experience. To remain competitive amid rapid growth in the e-commerce sector, brick-and-mortar retailers have increased interactions with consumers through IT kiosks and digital signage. These touch-enabled kiosks in retail outlets are allowing consumers to browse through stock and order products.

Moreover, some outlets are using touch-enabled tables to display product ranges. It is estimated that retailers will rapidly adopt such concepts as they try to narrow the gap between their business models and e-commerce players. Demand for touchscreen displays has increased globally in the retail sector. This intensifies the production of flat panel displays to meet the growing demand for digital signage. This further leads to the establishment of more fabs manufacturing flat panel displays for digital signage, which, in turn, helps to drive the growth of the global flat panel display equipment market during the forecast period.

Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Restrain

A concentrated customer base is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The concentrated customer base is one of the major challenges in the flat panel display equipment market. The vendor semiconductor customer base is concentrated due to industry dynamics and the ever-changing economic scenario globally. The top customers of Applied Materials are still Intel (INTC) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). Customers have also entered strategic alliances to increase the influence of industry participants on technology decisions made by stakeholders. The customer mix, customer type, and individual sales vary quarter-wise and year-wise.

In addition, as the products are designed to customer specifications, changing, rescheduling, or canceling orders may lead to a significant risk of losses in terms of unrecoverable costs. If customers place substantially fewer order quantities or delay or cancel orders, vendors may face losses adversely affecting the company operations. Hence, the concentrated customer base poses a significant challenge to the growth of the global flat panel display equipment market during the forecast period.

Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Segmentation By End-user Segment

The market share growth by the consumer electronics segment will be significant during the forecast period. The consumer electronics segment is growing at a significant growth rate in the flat panel display (FPD)  equipment market. The growing adoption of AMOLEDs for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and LEDs for TVs and other appliances drives the flat panel display (FPD) equipment market in the consumer electronics segment. Also, OLED TVs are gaining traction among consumers. The growing demand for high-resolution and rich color-quality displays is driving the adoption of OLED TVs.

The consumer electronics segment was the largest and was valued at USD 6.83 billion in 2018. Also, there is an increasing demand for ultra-high-definition (UHD) LCD/ LED TVs, primarily 4K TVs of 40 inches and larger. In 2021, many manufacturers introduced 4K TVs of size 50 inches and above. For instance, in April 2021, Sony India announced the launch of its all-new X80J Google television series with a 4K Ultra HD LED display. Moreover, Netflix, Amazon (Amazon Instant Video service), Ultraflix, and YouTube are the leading UHD content providers. Other content vendors include Vudu and Sony Ultra. This increase in UHD content by service providers will drive the demand for 4K TV products, which will further intensify the demand for LED flat panel displays, contributing to the growth of the global flat panel display equipment market during the forecast period.

Flat Panel Display Equipment Market Segmentation By Technology Segment  

The amorphous silicon (a-Si) technology segment is growing at a steady growth rate in the global flat panel display equipment market. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) has been the dominant technology for the manufacturing of active matrix TFT-LCD for over 20 years due to low-cost material and the abundant supply. Amorphous silicon is the widely used material for backplane technology and comes with a variety of different manufacturing methods to improve its energy efficiency, refresh speeds, and display viewing angle. Furthermore, it is cheaper than LTPS technology. With the growing proliferation of smart TVs across the globe, the demand for a-Si technology will decrease owing to the increase in the advanced OLED display demand. In addition, the fluctuations in the demand pattern of Si-based flat panel display equipment are attributed to limited continuous investments. Investments in flat panel display equipment are always substantial in nature and are long-term, declining the growth of the global flat panel display equipment market during the forecast period.
