DUBLIN, April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Optical Film Market by Film Type (Polarizing Film, Backlight Unit Film, ITO Film), Application (Television, Desktop Monitors & Laptops, Smartphones & Tablets, Signage/Large Format display, Automotive Display), Region - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. 

The optical film market is projected to reach USD 30.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 7.0% between 2019 and 2024

The major drivers stimulating the optical film market are an increase in demand for large LCD and OLED display panels from the televisions and smartphones segments. However, exclusivity and IP protection of emerging and advanced display materials are hindering the growth of the market.

"The smartphones & tablets application is the fastest-growing segment, in terms of value, of the optical film market."

The smartphones & tablets application constitutes a major share of the optical film market, by value and volume. The smartphones industry has witnessed continuous advancements in the past years, which is responsible for the growing penetration of smartphones and tablets, globally. Smartphones & tablets use small display panels, which includes LCD and OLED panels. Optical film is majorly used as a polarizer film in both panels. The average screen size of the smartphone has increased since the past few years, and this trend is expected to continue in the future, which will have a positive impact on the optical film market.

"APAC is the fastest-growing optical film market."

APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing optical film market during the next five years. The main factor that is expected to contribute to this growth is the presence of a large number of prominent optical film manufacturers such as LG Chem, Ltd., Hyosung Chemical, Toray Industries Inc., Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd, and Zeon Corporation.

The growing demand from the consumer electronics industry is expected to increase the demand for optical film in the region during the forecast period. The huge number of large display manufacturers is driving the demand for optical film in the televisions application in this region.
