Global Smartphone Display Market Forecast 2035:
According to recent analysis, the global smartphone display market is expected to grow from USD 57.2 Billion in 2025 to USD 97.8 Billion by 2035, registering a robust CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The smartphone display market is showing significant growth, as demand continues to drive immersive visual experiences; cost-effective energy use; and improving display characteristics in a wide range of flagship devices and mid-priced mobile phones
Manufacturers are rapidly changing their focus to OLED, Micro-LED, and flexible panel innovations, as they phase out LCD displays. Samsung Display, in 2025, expanded upon its OLED line, with hybrid OLED-on-silicon displays for foldable and rollable smartphones, to improve brightness and power consumption. It is expected that smartphone display likely to continue to grow steadily through to 2035, spurred by 5G adoption, AR/VR and the ongoing evolution from AI-powered user interfaces.
“Elevating User Experience: Surge in Demand for High-Brightness, Power-Efficient Smartphone Displays”
The extremely rapid advancement of smartphone display technology is reshaping the visual interaction and engagement experience across smartphones and mobile devices. The trend toward higher refresh rates, higher brightness and minimal bezels are facilitating new, immersive and responsive displays in next-gen smartphones. For example, in July of 2024, Samsung Display publicly announced its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 2,600 nits peak brightness, a variable refresh rate of 1Hz - 120Hz and higher outdoor visibility - aimed directly at high-end smartphones looking to deliver brighter, more vivid and power-efficient performance.
Driving many of these developments are advancements in OLED manufacturing and material science, especially with the use and integration of low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) backplanes. OLED stacks have evolved to thinner and more flexible depictions, allowing foldable and rollable approaches, while consuming less power, by implementing hybrid OLED technologies - tandem OLEDs and inkjet-printed micro-patterning have also helped positively affect the onset of lifetime and color accuracy. These important developments are not only challenging the established rules of display, but fostering new adoption in mid-range models to recalibrate the value proposition surrounding high-end visual experiences.
“Economic Constraints: High Manufacturing and Material Costs Limit Adoption in Price-Sensitive Markets”
Although advances in technology have lowered some costs related to production, high manufacturing costs continue to hinder growth especially in cost-sensitive and emerging markets. The capital intensity of advanced display technologies (i.e., the costs to fabricate OLEDs, build cleanroom facilities, and conduct R&D for flexible/formable or high-resolution panels) necessitates a large investment. Further, rising costs of key raw materials including indium tin oxide (ITO), rare-earth elements, and specialty polymers, in addition to disrupted supply chains from trade or unexpected expropriation, significantly increase production costs.
There are lower production yields for high-tech displays including curved and foldable displays which drive up costs per unit. This cost pressure is problematic for OEMs that seek reduce cost structures, particularly amongst small manufacturers in developing parts of the world that face limitations with the infrastructure to help them with the rapid pace of technology development which is contributing towards an increase technology adoption gap.
“Future Outlook: Growing Opportunities in Automotive Displays and AR/VR Integration”
Despite these challenges the smartphone display market is seeing emerging opportunities in automotive and immersive technologies. Advanced display systems are being more widely integrated into vehicles, and there are high-brightness flexible OLED panels that we are seeing realized developments in almost day to day, leading to better infotainment and driver-assist interfaces in vehicles. There are key players, namely Samsung and LG, pioneering developments in curved and transparent displays for coming dashboards and heads-up displays (HUD).
Simultaneously, AR/VR devices likely to similarly require ultra-high resolution, low-power displays with smaller form factors. New developments, i.e. micro-LED and foldable AMOLED panels, are likely to contribute developments toward immersive experiences that engage superior color accuracy and energy efficiency. The technological pace of development in this new display area recognizes the importance of high-tech display technologies across intelligent mobility devices and immersive digital environments in the future.
