Market outlook of the large area LCD display market

Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global large area LCD display market to grow at a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period. The formation of UHD alliances is the primary growth driver for this market. During 2015, supply chain members of the global UHD TV market announced the formation of the UHD Alliance to support innovative technologies including 4K and higher resolution, high dynamic range, immersive 3D audio, and wider color gamut.

The decline in ASP of the LCD panel is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. During 2014, per meter square, ASP of LCD panel was $472, which declined to $416 during 2015.
