According to the latest report of the statistical agency, IHS Markit, this year, BOE will surpass LG Display and grow into the world’s number one FPD (flat-panel display) manufacturer. It is reported that BOE’s Flat-Panel Display production capacity will reach 59 million square meters this year, accounting for 17.7% of the global total. This growth is mainly due to the increase in production capacity of BOE B9 10.5 Generation Line (LCD) and B11 6 Generation Line (AMOLED).
Taking into account BOE’s future plant construction plan, the report predicts that by 2023, its production capacity will reach 78 million square meters, accounting for 21% of the world’s total. Considering that the global share of BOE was only 10% four years ago, the compound growth rate between 2015 – 2023 will be as high as 15.7%. Of course, BOE is only a microcosm of the FPD manufacturing industry. At the end of this year, the total Flat-Panel Display production capacity of major display manufacturers will cover 46% of the world, reaching 153 million square meters, and will further increase to 62% in 2023.
