Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Technologies and Global Markets
Report Highlights
Total organic light-emitting diode market shipments reached $3 billion approximately in 2010 and will increase to more than $3 billion by 2011. And this market is estimated to reach to $5.2 billion at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
Report Scope
The scope of this study encompasses OLED electronic displays and lighting devices. BCC takes an analytical look at the OLED industry structure for displays and lighting, identifies the major players, and analyzes the competitiveness of both industries. For each technology, we determine its current status, examine the impact of economic and technological conditions, estimate the impact of future markets, and present forecasts for growth from 2010 to 2011 and then over the 5 year period from 2011 to 2016. Technological issues, including the latest trends and activities, are also discussed. Other essential factors such as the global economic environments are also discussed.
BCC Research analyzes the OLED industry on a worldwide basis, both from a manufacturing and consumption point of view. We examine government and industry support for research and development in the major regions of the world. We also analyze market share for unit shipments and their value for each type of display and lighting product.
