Global automotive display panel shipments reached 232 million units in 2024, showing a 6.3% year-over-year growth, primarily driven by China's market influence and increasing demand for advanced cockpit displays.
Chinese manufacturers dominated the market, with BOE leading at 17.6% market share (40.9M units, +16% YoY) and Tianma following at 15.9% share (36.9M units, +25% YoY). AUO ranked third with 10.5% share, while Japan Display Inc. and LG Display completed the top five with 8.6% and 7.7% market share respectively.
The growth was supported by China's promotion of neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), resulting in increased domestic sales and exports. Chinese panel manufacturers exceeded 53% market share in 2024, benefiting from government policies favoring domestic components and localized supply chains.
The flat panel display (FPD) glass market is projected to face significant supply constraints in 2025, according to Omdia's analysis. Leading manufacturers like Corning, AGC, and NEG have shifted from market share competition to focusing on profitability due to rising energy costs and price declines.
Glass makers have implemented price increases exceeding 10% in both 2H23 and 2H24 to counter high energy expenses, which comprise over 50% of production costs. The industry has also reduced inventory levels from two months to optimize profitability. A November 2024 fire at a major glass facility has further strained supply.
With demand growth expected to outpace capacity expansion in 2025, particularly in Q2 and Q3, Chinese manufacturers are aggressively investing in new facilities and offering competitive pricing. The market revenue is forecasted to grow 15% from $6.12 billion in 2024 to $7.05 billion in 2025.
Online consumer spending is projected to reach $4.4 trillion by 2025, with the US contributing $1.4 trillion, and surge to $6.6 trillion by 2029, with US accounting for $2 trillion.
The media and entertainment sector is expected to grow from $1.07 trillion in 2025 to $1.3 trillion by 2029. Video content leads with 70% of global revenues, with significant growth in online video (13%), cinema (12%), and gaming (7%) in 2025.
The integration of retail media and shoppable TV is transforming commerce and advertising. Amazon has surpassed Walmart as the world's largest retailer. Walmart is responding by becoming digital-first, with 20% of revenue from digital channels, exemplified by its Vizio acquisition to enhance digital advertising and shoppable TV capabilities.
Connected TV (CTV) adoption and TV operating systems are becoming important in advertising and commerce, creating new revenue opportunities for broadcasters, advertisers, and retailers.
Netflix is projected to surpass YouTube in total video revenue for the first time in 2025, according to Omdia research.
