The increasing demand for smartphones is expected to drive the growth of the flexible display market in the coming years. Smartphones, as advanced mobile devices, combine the capabilities of traditional cellular phones with features commonly found in computers. Flexible displays are integrated into smartphone designs due to their enhanced durability and reduced risk of cracking or breaking. For example, in 2024, International Data Corporation (IDC), a U.S.-based provider of market intelligence and advisory services, reported that global smartphone shipments rose from 1.14 billion units in 2023 to 1.22 billion units in 2024, reflecting a 7.1% increase. Consequently, the growing adoption of smartphones is driving the expansion of the flexible display market.

Major companies in the flexible display market are concentrating on product innovation, focusing on technologies such as the 7-inch Printed OLED Scrolling Display and the 6.7-inch AMOLED Rollable Display to gain a competitive advantage. These flexible displays are designed for use in portable devices. For example, in April 2023, vivo X Flip, a China-based smartphone manufacturer, introduced BOE's flexible OLED displays. BOE's flexible OLED displays are recognized for their high-resolution imagery and adaptability, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, including smartphones, televisions, and wearables. By leveraging organic light-emitting diode technology, these displays provide vibrant colors, deep blacks, and energy efficiency.

In July 2023, Japan Display Inc. (JDI), a Japan-based provider of display technology, acquired JOLED’s OLED technology development business for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, JDI aims to strengthen its technological capabilities and accelerate its growth strategy by integrating JOLED’s advanced OLED intellectual property, talent, and development operations. JOLED Inc. is a Japan-based company specializing in the development and manufacture of OLED display panels.

Major companies operating in the flexible display market are BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd., LG Display Co. Ltd., Royole Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Display), Japan Display Inc., AU Optronics Corp., Innolux Corporation, Sharp Corporation, Visionox Technology Inc., E Ink Holdings Inc., TCL Electronics Holdings Limited (CSOT), Microtips Technology, Plastic Logic GmbH, FlexEnable Limited, Panasonic Corporation, Corning Inc., Cambrios Technologies Corp., Toray Industries Inc., Universal Display Corporation (UDC), Kateeva Inc.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the flexible display market by increasing costs of imported OLED, LCD, and EPD panels as well as specialized substrates like glass and plastic. End-users in consumer electronics, wearables, televisions, laptops, and public transportation displays in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe are particularly affected. Although tariffs have raised component costs and slowed deployment, manufacturers are expanding local panel production, diversifying suppliers, and innovating in flexible display technologies, which helps reduce dependency on imports while enhancing durability, performance, and integration in multiple applications.
