Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Overview

Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display technology that has multiple applications and is used in several modern electronic devices such as televisions, computer monitors, smartphones, and digital watches. LCD devices are popular owing to their lightweight and thin design which makes them suitable for a range of applications. The display is made of a layer of liquid crystals that is placed between two transparent electrodes and two polarizing filters.

The liquid crystals are made of rod-shaped molecules that can align themselves depending on the electric current that they are subjected to. This alignment in turn is responsible for determining the amount of light that passes through them. The industry deals with the economic aspects of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and after-sales services of LCDs across end-user verticals. During the forecast period, it is expected to grow at a steady rate.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand in the consumer electronic segment to propel market growth

The global liquid crystal display (LCD) market is projected to witness high growth owing to the increasing demand in the consumer electronic segment which is one of the fastest-growing sectors. LCDs have become a common choice amongst consumers for a range of products such as televisions, computer monitors, smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Reports have indicated that LCD televisions are the most preferred choice amongst buyers as compared to older display technologies. Furthermore, the industry players have managed to create greater demand in the industry by adding product innovation strategies and providing consumers with an improved experience by integrating more modern systems that align with liquid crystal display technology. The trend is further strengthened by the availability of LCD devices across price ranges and hence cater to a broader range of audience.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Restraints

Increasing competition from alternatives to restricting the market growth

The global liquid crystal display industry is expected to face certain growth restrictions owing to the increasing competition and demand for Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology since it offers more advantages as compared to LCD. Some of the added benefits include better contrast, wider viewing angles, and faster response times when compared to LCDs. With an increasing rate of well-informed population which is constantly seeking more advanced systems, LCDs may seem to be an outdated technology and hence market players should consistently invest in research and innovation.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Opportunities

Rising investment toward interactive technology to provide growth opportunities

Since the global liquid crystal display market is highly competitive not only within its circle but also in terms of alternate technologies, the industry can survive only by improving its product offering. One such key area of focus lies in developing more interactive displays and touchscreens with better response time. Several companies have directed resources toward exploring the segments of multitouch, gesture recognition, and stylus support which are expected to ensure that consumers can enjoy an immersive experience.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Challenges

High power consumption to challenge market growth

LCDs generally tend to require high-power inputs. This is due to the need for backlighting systems that assist in providing the necessary illumination to the display. This is a significant challenge that can impede global liquid crystal display market growth, especially in regions that do not have access to adequate electricity infrastructure. Furthermore, the economic slowdown in several countries may result in losses over time.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Market: Segmentation

The global liquid crystal display (LCD) market is segmented based on application, product, and region.

Based on application, the global market segments are small appliances, industrial, automotive, medical, consumer goods, and others. The liquid crystal display industry witnessed the highest growth in the small appliances segment and consumer goods. LCD technology is one of the most commonly used tools in the production of devices such as smartphones and tablets along with similar systems including digital watches and cameras. With the increased revenue in the consumer goods sector, the segment is projected to emerge as the largest application of LDC. In the industrial sector, LCDs are employed in control panels, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), industrial automation systems, and equipment displays. They are also integrated with automotive dashboard displays, infotainment systems, instrument clusters, and rear-seat entertainment systems. Typically, consumer goods with LCD technology have a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

Based on the product, the global market segments are LCD graphic drives, LCD character drivers, and LCD segment drivers. The highest revenue was generated in the LCD character drivers in 2022. These systems are generally designed for controlling character-based displays which are found in devices such as digital watches, calculators, and some industrial equipment. They consist of a limited set of predefined characters or symbols that are arranged in rows and columns. On the other hand, LCD graphic drivers are used for controlling more complex graphic displays and they can display custom images, icons, and fonts. Their application mainly consists of smartphones, tablets, computer monitors, and graphic user interfaces (GUIs). LCD segment drivers are mostly used in digital clocks, microwave ovens, and automotive dashboard displays. In 2022, India witnessed a 22% year-on-year growth in its smart TV segment.

Recent Developments:

• In November 2022, Detel Mobile and Accessories, one of the world’s most economical feature phone brands as per company claims, announced the launch of a range of the least expensive LCD TVs for the Indian market.
