2Q22 OLED Light-Emitting Material Market $4.12 billion, up 7.8% from the Same Quarter Last Year

/in , , /by

According to the “3Q22 OLED Emitting Material Market Track” published quarterly by UBI Research, purchases of OLED light-emitting materials in the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $4.12 billion.

In the second quarter of 2022, the OLED light-emitting material market decreased by 2.1% compared to the previous quarter and increased by 7.8% compared to the same quarter last year. Overall, there was a decrease in panel shipments of Samsung Display and LG Display due to the off-season, but sales did not decrease significantly from the previous quarter due to rising exchange rates and the supply of new materials.

In the small OLED panel market, Samsung Display’s second-quarter purchase of light-emitting materials fell 2.2 % from the previous quarter to $1.52 billion, BOE fell 11.7% to $53.1 million, and LG Display fell 12.6% from the previous quarter to $39.7 million.

For OLED TVs, LG Display’s second-quarter purchase of light-emitting materials was $77.3 million, similar to the previous quarter, while Samsung Display’s purchase of materials for TVs was $28.3 million, up slightly from the previous quarter.

The OLED light-emitting material market is predicted to be $1.81 billion in 2022 and $2.5 billion in 2026. As shipments of WRGB OLEDs are expected to exceed 20 million units in 2026, purchases of light-emitting materials for WRGB OLEDs are expected to reach $900 million in 2026 from $4.3 billion in 2022. As the RGB 2stack market for IT grows, it is expected to reach $53.4 million in 2024 and $190 million in 2026.

Sales of luminescent layer and common layer were investigated to identify the overall market of light-emitting materials, and performance was analyzed by dividing them into countries, panel companies, applied products, layers, and OLED methods (RGB, WRGB, and QD-OLED). In addition, OLED market information up to 2026 was predicted by predicting the usage and sales of light-emitting materials by each company over the next five years. The Market Track Quarterly Report provides necessary information to industry workers who lead OLED industries.

Is green emitting material a key material in the high refresh rate trend?

green emitting material capacitance

OLED material

Recently released smartphones support a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz. Such a fast refresh rate allows smooth screen transitions and can express dynamic movements, especially in games, but consumes a lot of power.

Major set makers such as Samsung Electronics and Apple started to use OLEDs with LTPO TFTs, which consume relatively low power while realizing a refresh rate of 120 Hz and OLED smartphones to which LTPO TFT is applied are positioned in each set maker’s ultra-premium lineup.

In this high refresh rate trend, the capacitance of the green emitting material is becoming an issue.

If the capacitance of the green emitting material is high, dragging may occur when switching the screen in the high refresh rate mode. Since the human eye responds the most to green, the green appears prominently, which may cause problems in color expression.

For this reason, it is understood that some material makers have recently received requests from set or panel makers to lower the capacitance characteristics of green emitting materials.

Daejeong Yoon, an analyst at UBI Research, said, “The biggest issue for material companies in the past and still is lifetime and efficiency, but recently, even the capacitance of materials has become an issue due to the trend of high refresh rate.” And “Green material with deuterium substitution technology will be applied to some mass production from the second half of this year, and material makers are immediately forced to develop green materials with low capacitance.”

As smartphones supporting a high refresh rate of 120 Hz are expected to become mainstream in the future, the use of green emitting materials with low capacitance is also expected to increase.

1Q of 2022 OLED Emitting Material Market $420 million, up 9% Compared to the Same Quarter of the Previous Year

/in /by

According to “2Q22 OLED Emitting Material Market Track”, a quarterly report published by UBI Research, the sales of emitting materials in the first quarter were $421 million, down 21.1% (QoQ) from $533 million in the previous quarter but was an increase by 9% (YoY)when compared to $386 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Although sales of emitting materials for TV and mobile devices decreased compared to the previous quarter, IT sales recorded a meaningful figure of $6.6 million. Although sales fluctuate depending on seasonal demand for applied products, if the sales of emitting materials are analyzed by application product, TV use is gradually increasing.

The top 3 companies in 1Q sales were UDC($86.6 million), DuPont($41.3 million), and Duksan($37.5 million). Duksan became the number one company in sales as a Korean company. The overall sales of luminescent materials in the first quarter decreased compared to the previous quarter but only UDC’s sales increased. Sales decreased to $421.5 million in 1Q22 from $533.8 million in 4Q21. However, UDC’s 1Q22 sales increased to $86.6 million from 4Q21’s sales of $85.5 million. It is estimated that this is due to the rise in the price of rare earth metals, a key material for manufacturing dopant.
Estimated sales of emitting materials in 2022 are $1.77 billion and are expected to grow to $2.4 billion in 2026.
By application product, the projected sales of emitting materials for smartphones this year are $1.4 billion, accounting for 79% of the total.
Of the projected sales in 2026, emitting materials for TV are expected to reach $550 million, which is expected to increase by 23%. In addition, emitting materials for IT are expected to account for 9% of $210 million.

“OLED Emitting Material Market Track” surveys and analyzes the market for quarterly OLED emitting materials. The total market of light emitting materials was identified by examining sales by light emitting layer and common layer. Performance analysis was categorized by country, panel maker, application product, layer, and OLED method (RGB, WRGB, QD-OLED). In addition, OLED market information for the next five years (up to 2026) was forecasted by predicting the amount of emitting material usage and sales by company. The quarterly market track provides necessary information to industry professionals who lead the OLED industry.

UDC (Universal Display) that is dominating the global OLED emitting materials market, recorded 11% reduced OLED emitting materials revenue in 2015 compared to 2014. Despite the decreased revenue, it maintained its top place in the market.

According to 2016 OLED Emitting Material Annual Report, published by UBI Research, UDC recorded approximately $ 113 million in 2015 OLED emitting materials revenue. In 2014, this company’s OLED emitting materials revenue recorded $ 127 million and led the global market, and maintained its position in 2015.

In particular, this company is a dominating presence in dopant materials sector. In 2015, UDC occupied 82% of the dopant materials sector, and the rest of the companies share the remaining 18%. Based on the phosphorescent patents, it is supplying phosphorescent red and green dopant to Samsung Display and LG Display.

Following UDC’s top place in 2015 global OLED emitting materials market in terms of revenue, Idemitsu Kosan ranked 2nd, and this was followed by Novaled, Dow Chem., and Samsung SDI. In 2013, Dow Chem. was at the top of the market, but since 2014 UDC overtook the leadership. In 2016, LG Display’s OLED TV mass production line operation rate, materials structure of Galaxy Note series to be mass produced in H2, and other factors are expected to affect the OLED emitting materials market.

UDC is scheduled to announce 2016 Q1 performance on 5 May (local time).
