Organic Polymer Electronics Market Size & Share Analysis - Industry Research Report

Organic Polymer Electronics Market Analysis

The Organic Polymer Electronics Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.3% over the forecast period 2020 to 2025. The devices which are made from organic polymer electronics are gradually becoming a low-cost alternative to the traditional inorganic electronic applications, due to low material utilization (use of materials that are synthesized, rather than mined from the earth) and simple processing.

The market is majorly growing due to the rapid increase in adoption in the display industry as well as lighting, due to expanding functionality and accessibility of electronics, which traditional silicon-based electronics cannot do.
OLEDs displays occupy a fair share of the market. In 2019, Amazon launched the first OLED TVs with FireTV in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria. In the United Kingdom, the company collaborated with Currys, and in Austria and Germany, they partnered with Grundig.
Head mounted devices for augmented and virtual reality are one of the emerging applications in the display industry, since they have organic light emitting diodes as a crucial part. Apart from the gaming industry, HMDs are being used in military, medical and engineering contexts.
Training of all types is the most potential application of AR & VR. Navy researchers are integrating AR technology into head mounted displays (HMD) to effectively provide ground deployed troops with the technology utilized by pilots.
When it comes to electronic components, organic polymer electronics is revolutionizing small, flexible, wide-area electronic devices that can be produced at low cost in very high volumes. The demand for flexible electronic goods is required in healthcare, and government sectors.
With advancements in wearable technology, proliferating wearable devices are being programmed to interact with the bodies and collect data. The flexible displays make sure that wearables are thin, light, robust, and comfortable for the user.
The researchers at Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Germany have developed the first flexible electronic chip made of magnetic sensors and organic, polymer-based circuits. This has the potential for development in artificial electronic skins, robotics with soft materials, and biomedical science.
Organic polymers for photovoltaic (OPV) and photodiode (OPD) are under progress nowadays. OPV solar cells can be semi-transparent, and are therefore used in the design of energy roofs that allow light to pass through.

Organic Polymer Electronics Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Organic Polymer Electronics Market according to our research experts:

Organic Display to Witness Huge Demand

The growing demand for enhanced displays drives the display market, organic displays such as OLED and PMOLED, augmented displays, and roll-able transparent displays. OLED technology enables efficient, bright, and thin displays and lighting panels. They are currently used in some TVs, various mobile devices, and lighting accessories. OLED displays give a more excellent image quality matched to that of LCD or Plasma displays - and can also be made transparent and flexible.
The organic display is the largest revenue-generating segment since display devices like OLEDs find applications in laptops, tablets, TV sets, lighting, etc. Asia-Pacific is house to approximately 3/4th of the global electronics manufacturing industry, the primary application area for organic electronics. Reasons like the increasing disposable income of end-users and inclination for high-quality products influence the LCD manufacturers to invest in organic electronics.
Display panel merchants are putting up with the demand and are launching more latest OLED displays. For instance, as of April 2020, LG Display technology will make OLED panels see-through when they are switched on. This leads to several additional applications like shop windows and offices to depict a superior user experience. In August 2019, Samsung shared plans to commence production of QD-OLED production shortly by converting its 8.5-Gen LCD lines in Asan, Korea.
Moreover, the companies are also pitching the use of the transparent display in the aviation sector. For instance, in December 2019, LG Display’s organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels were deployed in Boeing’s next-generation aircraft, expanding its flexible panel beyond automotive.
Smartphones primarily drive the consumer electronics market as an application. A recent report from Mizuho Securities, in 2019, estimates the growth of OLED displays for smartphones and feature phones. Mizuho forecasts the OLED penetration to reach 29 % of the display market, growing to 80 % by 2026.
To achieve product differentiation and competitive advantage in the market, the LCD companies have been using OLED displays in their TV sets. Due to this, the need in the OLED displays market is anticipated to grow.

Significant demand for smartphones and other consumer electronics devices from countries, such as India, China, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore, are encouraging many vendors to set up production establishments in the region. Investments in the smartphone segment are poised to drive the demand for OLED displays in the India.
In January 2019, LG Display, one of the innovator of display technologies, announced to introduce OLED and LCD displays at CES 2019 in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11. LG Display plans to introduce an 88-inch 8K Crystal Sound OLED (CSO) display with an advanced 3.2.2 channel sound system embedded into the display. Samsung also launched OLED displays for IT and smartphone markets, ultra-large 8K LCDs and a 32:9 curved display.
In the past year, 4K TVs, also known as Ultra High Definition (UHD), have been gaining traction in the Asia-Pacific from past two years, with the market upgrading the display resolutions from Full High Definition to UHD.
Chinese panel makers are expanding their production capacities for OLED displays, putting pressures on other industry players. Samsung is closing its 8.5 generation production line in 2019 and shifting the focus to QD-OLED panels in response to the price competition. LG Display also plans to expand its OLED production capacities in China and Korea targeting large-sized TV displays
