Market Drivers Fueling Growth
One of the key factors driving market growth is the increasing demand for consumer electronics. The rising adoption of smartphones, wearables, foldable displays, and other electronic devices has significantly propelled the need for flexible substrates. As organic light-emitting polymers (OLEDs) improve, the demand for durable and foldable smartphones continues to rise. According to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), foldable smartphone shipments are expected to increase by 232% in 2021 to 7.5 million units, with further growth projected to 15.9 million units in 2022 and 51 million units by 2026.
The transition to renewable energy sources is another major market driver. The growing focus on sustainability and climate change mitigation has led to increased adoption of thin-film solar cells integrated into various surfaces such as buildings, vehicles, and wearable devices. These lightweight and translucent photovoltaic devices offer cost-effective solutions for energy generation in low-light conditions.
