The global flexible display market size reached USD 27.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 170.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 21.19% during 2025-2033. The market is propelled by the rapidly increasing sales of smartphones, exponentially expanding product application in wearable devices, significant technological advancements in display technology, and constantly increasing demand for automotive displays.
A flexible display is a visual output surface that folds, bends, and twists without breaking. It is a thin and light-weighted flexi-screen that takes minimal space and offers high durability as it is manufactured from plastic, which possesses better impact resistance than solid glass structures. It is widely used as clothing that changes color or pattern instantly in response to the environment. As a result, it finds extensive applications in smartphones, tablets, smart wearables, television (TV) sets, digital signage systems, personal computers (PCs), laptops, monitors, vehicles, and smart home appliances.
Flexible Display Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the utilization of display-based consumer electronic devices across the globe. This, along with the growing demand for connected and automated vehicles, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the adoption of digital signage systems with the initiation of the smart city concept around the world. This, coupled with the escalating demand for compact and energy-efficient devices, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to end-users and investors. In addition, the increasing use of the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) due to its simplified design, limited flexibility, and better image quality as compared to conventional light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the growing employment of electronic paper displays (EPDs) by e-readers worldwide is catalyzing the demand for flexible displays. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to launch new product variants. These players are also focusing on product launches and expansions, which is projected to bolster their overall sales and profitability.
