Technavio Announces Top Five Vendors in the Global Large Area LCD Display Market from 2016 to 2020


Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global large area liquid crystal display (LCD) display market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists ten other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Competitive vendor landscape

According to the report, LCD panels are one of the most widely used display panels across all the application segments including digital signage, monitors, notebooks, public displays, tablet, and TVs. Manufacturing LCD display panels requires economies of scale because the equipment used to manufacture these displays is expensive. This presents high entry barriers for LCD display panels manufactures.

While the growth of LCD displays for monitors, notebooks, and tables is stagnant or declining, the market for small and medium-size displays such as smartphones is growing rapidly. The demand for LCD displays for TVs is rising because of the strong demand for UHD TVs. Many Chinese manufacturers are enhancing their LCD panel production facilities, leading to the higher production of LCD displays. In 2015, manufacturers ended up adding excess inventory, leading to a decline in the average sale price (ASP) of LCD displays.

As Chinese manufacturers have the advantage of manufacturing LCD panels at lower cost, the declining ASP of LCD panels is creating pressure on the leading manufacturers such as LG and Samsung (News - Alert). "The lower profit margin, due to the intense competition from Chinese vendors, is forcing other manufactures to shift to different technologies like quantum dots LCD displays and OLEDs. As these technologies require economies of scales and are capital intensive in nature, LG and Samsung can maintain their market share by incorporating quantum dots technology," says Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead analyst at Technavio for displays sector.
