SUMMARY
Request Forecast Tables from this report.
NanoMarkets has been providing industry analysis of the OLED community for six years, and is the leading supplier of analysis in the OLED lighting space. The goal of this report is to analyze and forecast the prospects for OLED materials in the coming eight years. Specifically, the objective is to examine the OLED materials sector and analyze what we see as the new directions that OLED materials will be taking in the coming years for both displays and lighting. It is also to identify and quantify the opportunities that are emerging in this space.
This report is the latest update from NanoMarkets on the OLED materials markets. In it, we quantify the opportunities that are emerging from the booming OLED display industry and in the nascent OLED lighting market, where the key determinants of success will be device efficiency, lifetime, and reduction in total cost of ownership. Finally, the report contains detailed volume and revenue forecasts for materials used for OLEDs broken out by material type and functionality, as well as by application and by deposition method, wherever possible.
The materials discussed include all of the major materials used in the OLED stack, as well as the substrates and encapsulants. Materials are discussed in the report from the perspective of the pioneer OLED panel manufacturers—Samsung, Sony, Osram, AUO, etc—to the smaller and nontraditional firms making a play in OLEDs, such as Kaneka, Lumiotec, Visionox, and others.
In addition, the report contains detailed forecasts of materials used for major OLED categories—displays and lighting—in both revenues and volume terms. The forecasts are developed from our forecasts of both OLED shipments and OLED manufacturing capacity, and we utilize our insider's understanding of what the major OLED firms are likely to need from their materials suppliers. -
