For example, in May 2023, Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association reported a total electronic equipment production of $4.91 billion (¥771,457 million) in Japan. Consumer electronics production specifically amounted to $204.67 million (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, up from $161.12 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. This upward trend in consumer electronics demand is driving growth in the glass flexible display market.

Leading companies in the Glass Flexible Display market are focusing on developing cutting-edge solutions such as spatial displays to improve user experience and broaden applications across industries like entertainment, healthcare, and automotive. Spatial displays are advanced visual technologies that generate 3D images or holograms, enabling users to engage with content in a more immersive and lifelike manner. These displays do not require special glasses, providing a genuine three-dimensional viewing experience. For example, in May 2024, Looking Glass Factory Inc., a China-based company specializing in holographic displays, launched two spatial display models: one with a 16-inch screen and the other with a 32-inch screen. These models enable 3D visualization without the need for headsets, making them ideal for group viewing. The displays support group interactions by offering between 45 and 100 viewing angles, allowing multiple users to enjoy 3D content at the same time, and are compatible with popular software platforms such as Unity and Unreal Engine.

In May 2024, Vedanta, a company based in India focusing on natural resources, completed the acquisition of AvanStrate for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition reinforces Vedanta's standing within the global display value chain and supports its strategic direction towards technology and expansion into advanced manufacturing sectors. AvanStrate, headquartered in Japan, specializes in the production of glass substrates primarily used in electronic devices and flexible displays.
