China"s electronics manufacturing industry earned 13 trillion yuan in 2017. But growth in the consumer electronics industry has slowed in the past two years, as shipments of mobile phones and computers have slowed, and demand for liquid crystal displays has slowed.The following display industry data statistical analysis.

China"s electronics manufacturing industry earned 13 trillion yuan in 2017, according to an analysis of the display industry.In terms of hardware product manufacturing, the output of mobile phones, computers and color TV sets in China reached 1.92 billion, 310 million and 170 million respectively. The market demand scale of consumer electronics products is increasing, and China is playing an increasingly important role in the global LCD industry.

In the early stage of LCD development, as an important LCD panel demand market, China has been in a state of "lack of core and screen" for a long time. Because LCD panels account for a very high proportion of the cost of LCD display, domestic LCD TV, computer and other manufacturers are forced to spend huge sums of money to purchase LCD panels and other key components from manufacturers in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

Through the statistical analysis of the display industry data, although the LCD industry in China develops rapidly, the scale of the industry is growing, and the localization is constantly improved, the self-sufficiency rate of the LCD panel is still low, and the product is more dependent on the outside, which affects the long-term development of the domestic LCD industry to some extent. With the increasing demand for LCD in electronic information industry, China"s existing enterprises have been putting into production the LCD panel product line, and the industry"s production capacity has been constantly improved.

As Chinese panel makers ceaseless effort, coupled with policy support, liquid crystal display (LCD) industry in China in recent years the rapid development of our country has gradually become the important production base of LCD panel, mainland LCD panel production has been occupying weight status, independent core technology of rapid growth, the global influence growing industry, its self-sufficiency rate of LCD panel will gradually improve, import tends to decline.From 2012 to 2017, the import volume of China"s LCD panel has been declining, which was us $30.13 billion in 2017, down 5.4% year-on-year.

Through statistical analysis of display industry data, it can be seen from the market competition of domestic LCD brands that the scale of domestic LCD enterprises is relatively small, most of which focus on the production of medium and low-end products, while high-end products are concentrated in well-known enterprises. Domestic LCD brands are represented by boe, tianma, huaxing optoelectronics, longteng, vercino and CLP panda. Domestic brands are strengthening their competitiveness in their respective fields.

Our country TFT LCD display export advantage gradually loses, also because our country liquid crystal display export is still in the low-end product primarily, the technical content is relatively low, is difficult to cope with the market competition.Although China has become the world"s top three LCD panel production base, local manufacturers are still weak in technology, especially in high-end products from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other places to import LCD panels.In the development of new technology, the technology gap with Japan and South Korea and Taiwan enterprises is still relatively large, on the whole is still in the stage of technology catch-up.

The report gives a detailed analysis of the following key players in the global TFT-LCD display panel Market, covering their competitive landscape, capacity, and latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, and investments, expansions of capacity, and plant turnarounds:

Chinese display panel makers accounted for nearly half of the share in the global liquid crystal display TV panel market in the first half of this year, dominating the industry.

Beijing-based market researcher Sigmaintell Consulting said shipments of LCD TV panels worldwide totaled 140 million pieces in the year"s first half, up 3.6 percent compared with the same period a year ago.

The supply of TV panels though has surpassed demand due to the slowdown in the global economy and weaker consumer purchasing power. Manufacturers are facing severe challenges from falling panel prices, the Sigmaintell report said.

The shipment of BOE"s LCD TV panels stood at 27.6 million in the Jan-June period while LG Display followed with 22.7 million, down 4.5 percent year-on-year. Innolux Display Group was in third place, having shipped 21.9 million units.

Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co Ltd, a subsidiary of consumer electronics giant TCL Corp, ranked fourth, shipping 19.3 million pieces of TV panels. Chinese panel makers accounted for a 45.8 percent share in the global LCD TV panel market.

Sigmaintell estimated that the gap between supply and demand would widen further, and the panel market may face a long-term risk of oversupply. The industry may have to undergo a reshuffle given fierce market competition, it said.

The panel makers must reduce costs, optimize their internal structures, promote technological innovation and explore more innovative applications, the report by the consultancy said.

Separately, BOE"s Gen 10.5 TFTLCD production line has entered operation in Hefei, Anhui province. The plant will produce high-definition LCD screens of 65 inches and above.

"China"s semiconductor display industry has taken large steps forward in the past decade, changing the display industry"s global competitive landscape. China has transformed into the world"s largest consumer market and manufacturing base for display terminals, with huge market potential," said BOE Vice-President Zhang Yu.

CSOT also announced in November last year that its Gen 11 TFT-LCD and active-matrix OLED production line had officially began operation. The project will produce 43-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch liquid crystal display screens.

TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng said China will likely take the lead in the semiconductor display sector across the world within the next three to five years.

"China will play an active and vital role in prompting the development of the semiconductor display industry, which has a high entry threshold and needs high investment," Li said.

China is expected to replace South Korea as the world"s largest flat-panel display producer in 2019, a report from the China Video Industry Association and the China Optics and Optoelectronics Manufacturers Association said.

"The average size of TV panels is likely to increase 1.4 inches in 2019. The 65-inch dimension will become the most popular size of TV," Li Yaqin, general manager of Sigmaintell, said while adding the 65-inch TV will become the mainstream screen in people"s living rooms in the future.

Compared with traditional LCD display panels, OLED has a fast response rate, wide viewing angles, high-contrast images and richer colors. It is thinner and can be made flexible.

"The penetration rate of such TVs in China is relatively low, while such type of TV has become the representative of high-end TVs in the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries," said Park Changhyuk, general manager of LG Display China"s promotion unit.

Large-area TFT LCD panel shipments decreased by 10% Month on Month (MoM) and 5% Year on Year (YoY) in April, to 74.1million units, representing historically low shipment performance since May 2020. Omdia defines large-area TFT LCD displays as larger than 9 inches.

"With continued ramifications from the pandemic, demand for IT panels for monitors and notebook PCs remained strong in 4Q21. But as the market became saturated starting in 2022, IT panel shipments started slowing in 1Q22 and early 2Q22," said Robin Wu, Principal Analyst for Large Area Display & Production, Omdia.

Wu said that notebook panel shipments decreased 21% MoM in April, to 18.2 million units, or a 33% decrease from a peak of 27.3 million units in November 2021.

While TV panel prices have decreased noticeably since 3Q21, TV LCD panel shipments increased to a peak of 23.4 million in December 2021, driven by low prices. But rising inflation, the Ukraine crisis and continued lockdowns in China have slowed demand. As a result, TV panel shipments posted a 9% MoM decline in April, to 21.7million units.

Many TV panel prices have fallen below manufacturing cost, and panel makers began to lose money in their TV panel business starting in 4Q21. But Chinese panel makers, the biggest capacity owners, still haven"t reduced their fab utilization. With no sign of demand recovery in 2Q22 or even 3Q22, the supply/demand situation is unlikely to see improvement, Wu said.

"IT LCD panels could still deliver positive cash flow for panel makers. But with prices dropping dramatically, panel makers will soon start to lose money in their IT panel business," Wu said. "Maybe only then will panel makers reduce their glass input and the overall supply/demand situation will return to balance."
