In 2024, flexible AMOLED displays emerged as the global leader in the display technology market for the first time, with approximately 617 million units shipped. This milestone marked a shift from the long-standing dominance of a-Si TFT LCD technology, which fell to second place with 611 million units shipped. The global display technology market reached its zenith in 2021, shipping over 1.7 billion units, before experiencing a sharp decline to 1.4 billion units in 2022. However, the market has since demonstrated resilience, showing steady annual growth and reaching 1.5 billion units shipped in 2024.
