Market Trends of Display Driver Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Display Driver Market according to our research experts:
OLED Display Technology Drive the Market Growth
- The OLED display driver market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, increasing demand for high-performance display driver ICs and driving the market to increase growth. Because of their rising usage in smart devices such as smartphones, wearables (smartwatches, AR/VR HMDs), and smart TVs, OLED and flexible displays are rising in the display industry.
- The display driver market is promptly driven by the development of the smartphone market around the world. Smartphones offer high quality and performance and act like a computer by providing real-time information. They became an integral part of human lives. A short life span due to the upgradation of technology at a rapid speed is forcing major players to invest in research to develop and differentiate their offerings with advanced functionality.
- For instance, Samsung officially launched its much-awaited 'Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3' smartphone in August 2021, which defies the category with a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode). The foldable display allows users to transform it into a tablet-like device.
- The market is expanding due to rising demand for OLED and flexible displays, the adoption of high-cost, advanced display drivers, and the expansion of the automotive display market. The market for display driver ICs is growing due to the increased use of 4K and 8K televisions, the availability of UHD content, and the rising role of DDICs in individual components and single integration chips.
- With qualities including a simple-cum-elegant structure, Flexible form factors, color depth, and a high contrast ratio, OLED display technology has increased in popularity in recent years. OLED displays are rapidly penetrating the display ecosystem, which is fueling the growth of the OLED display driver Market.
- According to Consumer Technology Association forecasts released in January 2022, it is anticipated that the United States will have a USD 1.7 billion increase in the sales value of smartphones sold in 2022 and will reach USD 74.7 billion.

China is Expected to Dominate the Asia Pacific Market Over the Forecast Period
- The display driver market in China is developing with respect to increasing sales of consumer electronics, rising demand for 3D and high-definition pictures, increase in demand for digital signage for media & advertising, rising demand for wearable gadgets, and increasing sales of display products in automotive.
- The major market players are investing vast sums in enhancing their production facilities, primarily to mass-produce products, catering to the increasing demand. For instance, In June 2022, Novatek Microelectronics, a Display driver IC company, expanded its product portfolio. The company has diversified its offerings to include SoCs, LCD timing controller (T-Con) chips, and power management ICs while expanding the target markets of its DDIs to include automotive and VR/AR product segments. Novatek is gearing up for a rise in demand for automotive and VR/AR-related display products requiring high-speed transmission and low power.
- The automotive sector in China is boosted due to the quick adoption of electric cars and increased customer spending power. Market players are strategically performing partnerships and mergers in order to enhance their product portfolio. For instance, In June 2022, Volvo cars announced a partnership with Epic Games to introduce photorealistic visualization technology in its next generation of electric vehicles. The company will use epic Games' unreal engine. The partnership will offer infotainment displays that will have sharper rendering, richer colors, and 3D animations.
- Advancements in material technologies are driving the development of new applications of flexible electronics. Flexible displays are expected to account for a significant share of the market demand and revenues over and beyond the forecast period.
- For instance, in November 2021, Visionox Technology Inc, a China-based display panel supplier, announced that it would launch medium-size display products like laptops, tablets, and vehicle-mounted screens with a focus on AMOLED technology, owing to the increasing demand for flexible displays.
