Omdia Forecasts Large-Area Display Shipments to Grow 2.8% YoY in 2025, Mobile PC Displays Lead the Growth

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to the latest analysis from Omdia’s Large-area display market tracker - 3Q25 with 2Q25 results, large-area display (above 9-inch) unit shipments are forecast to increase by 2.8% year-over-year (YoY) in 2025. This growth comes despite projected declines in the TV and monitor markets and is driven by strong performance in mobile PC displays for notebooks and tablets.

Mobile PC Display Demand Offsets Decline in TV and Monitor Markets

Large-area LCD unit shipments are expected to increase by 2.2% YoY to 873.9 million units in 2025. While LCD TV and monitor displays are forecast to decrease by 3.4% and 1.8% YoY respectively, this is offset by significant growth in tablet and notebook PC LCD shipments, which are expected to increase by 17.5% YoY and 4.2% YoY.

The large-area OLED market is set for even stronger growth, with unit shipments forecast to grow by 19.0% YoY in 2025. This expansion is led by monitor and notebook PC OLEDs, which are projected to increase by 60.9% YoY and 45.9% YoY. In contrast, tablet PC OLED shipments are forecast to decrease by 2.3% YoY, though OLED TV display shipments are expected to see a 3.1% YoY increase.

“The market is seeing a major divergence driven by regional strategies. In the LCD space, Chinese panel makers are pursuing market share in IT displays by ramping up new Gen 8.6 IPS LCD fabs, while other makers, such as LG Display and Sharp, focus on profitability through restructuring,” said Peter Su, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “Simultaneously, in the OLED segment, Korean makers are expanding into IT applications like monitors and notebook PCs to compensate for weaker OLED TV performance. This allows them to leverage their strengths in the high-end tablet segment, growing shipments by 3.6% to clients like Apple and Samsung even as the overall tablet OLED market declines.”
