According to the latest TechSci Research report, “Organic Light Emitting Diode Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, the Global Organic Light Emitting Diode Market was valued at USD 56.91 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 148.89 billion by 2030, growing at a robust CAGR of 17.21% during the forecast period. This remarkable growth is primarily driven by increasing demand for innovative display technologies, energy-efficient lighting, and the growing adoption of OLEDs in automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial applications.
Rise of Flexible and Foldable Display Technologies
One of the key trends reshaping the OLED market is the growing adoption of flexible and foldable display technologies. Unlike conventional LCDs, OLEDs do not require a backlight, which allows for thinner, lighter, and more versatile form factors. This structural advantage has facilitated the integration of OLED displays in next-generation smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables.
Foldable smartphones, in particular, have seen exponential growth, with global shipments exceeding 25 million units in 2024—more than double the figures reported in 2022. Flexible OLED panels now represent over 40% of total AMOLED panel shipments worldwide. Leading tech companies such as Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Motorola continue to drive innovation by heavily investing in foldable OLED technologies, incorporating ultra-thin glass (UTG) and durable plastic-based substrates that enhance both flexibility and visual performance.
Beyond personal devices, rollable and curved OLED screens are being introduced in televisions, digital signage, and automotive dashboards. As consumer preferences shift toward more immersive and futuristic display experiences, flexible OLEDs are rapidly emerging as the go-to technology for premium electronics, creating a transformative design shift across multiple sectors.
Expanding Role of OLEDs in the Automotive Sector
The automotive industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation, with OLED technology playing a central role—particularly in luxury and electric vehicles (EVs). In 2024, more than 4 million OLED automotive displays were shipped globally. These displays are now commonly used in infotainment systems, digital dashboards, rear-seat entertainment, and instrument clusters.
OLED displays offer high contrast ratios, wide viewing angles, and ultra-thin profiles, making them ideal for modern vehicle interiors where space, aesthetics, and functionality are paramount. Additionally, OLED lighting is becoming increasingly prevalent in applications such as ambient lighting, rear tail lamps, and adaptive signal indicators. Automotive giants like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have incorporated OLED lighting to achieve unique lighting signatures and energy efficiency.
OLED lighting modules for automotive use are expected to witness more than 30% annual growth by 2025, especially as EV manufacturers prioritize energy savings and design innovation. As consumer demand grows for smart, personalized, and visually sophisticated vehicle cabins, OLEDs are expected to become a foundational technology for next-generation automotive systems.
Segment Analysis: PMOLED Leading in Compact Applications
By type, the Passive Matrix OLED (PMOLED) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. PMOLEDs are known for their cost-efficiency, ease of manufacturing, and simplicity of integration, especially in compact and low-power devices. Unlike Active Matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs), PMOLEDs use a simpler driving mechanism, which makes them more affordable and suitable for devices with moderate performance requirements.
PMOLEDs are widely used in small displays found in fitness trackers, medical monitoring devices, audio systems, industrial meters, and e-cigarettes. Their thin, lightweight design and low power consumption make them ideal for applications requiring portability and extended battery life. In fact, wearable technology incorporating PMOLED screens witnessed over 20% year-on-year growth in shipments due to the booming fitness and wellness industry.
In the medical field, PMOLEDs are favored in portable devices like glucose monitors and pulse oximeters, thanks to their low energy consumption and clear visibility in dim lighting conditions. As innovations in color performance, brightness, and durability continue, PMOLEDs are finding expanding use cases, including in automotive applications for secondary displays such as gear selectors and HVAC control panels.
The cost advantages of PMOLEDs also make them attractive for manufacturers targeting budget-conscious consumers in emerging markets, further boosting global demand.

Asia Pacific: The Fastest Growing Regional Market
Regionally, the Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing market for OLEDs during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to several key factors, including rapid industrialization, a booming electronics manufacturing sector, and rising demand for high-end consumer electronics.
Countries such as South Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan dominate OLED panel production and are hubs of technological advancement in the display industry. South Korea, led by companies like Samsung Display and LG Display, remains a global powerhouse in OLED manufacturing. Samsung leads in smartphone OLED display production, while LG Display is a global frontrunner in large-format OLED TV panels.
China is aggressively expanding its OLED production capabilities, supported by significant government incentives and investments. Leading Chinese manufacturers such as BOE Technology, Visionox, and TCL CSOT are rapidly scaling up OLED capacity to meet growing domestic and international demand.
Asia Pacific also leads in OLED consumption, with over 55% of global smartphone shipments originating from the region in 2024. A significant portion of these devices now features OLED displays. Rising disposable incomes and increasing consumer interest in premium electronics are driving this trend in countries like India, China, and across Southeast Asia.
The region is also seeing strong momentum in automotive OLED integration. Japanese and South Korean carmakers are incorporating OLED panels and lighting solutions into their next-generation vehicles, responding to consumer preferences for smart interiors and energy-efficient components.
Additionally, Asia Pacific governments are investing in energy-efficient technologies and R&D initiatives aimed at improving OLED materials and production processes. These supportive policies and robust infrastructure make the region a global leader in OLED innovation and growth.
