Apart from the latest high-growth liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) application, mobile phones providing full Internet access, electronic books, and portable media players are some new products that require innovative flat panel displays (FPD). Even in automobiles, the number of future applications for FPD is set to increase exponentially. Some of these next-generation products include display devices for a back seat office, portable global positioning system (GPS) displays and electronic rear view mirrors without blind spots. However, in the cyclical FPD market, frequent price cuts, continuous need for high capital investment, and strategic cost restructures have comprehensively tilted the market in favor of the major participants, while exposing tier two companies to critical structural challenges. To expand in the FPD market, panel manufacturers are now diversifying into the dynamic consumer electronics segment instead of focusing solely on the traditional personal computer segment. "In making this shift to the consumer applications end-user market, panel manufacturers need to decide judiciously on their product mix, since it can have a huge bearing on their bottom-line," says the analyst of this research service. Consolidation and Entry into New Product Categories Ensure Market Growth Apart from constant changes in market fortunes, the FPD market has to deal with low prices of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and the influx of new market participants. In order to address such issues, market participants, especially thin film transistor LCD companies, are looking for collaborations. "Participants have realized that to reduce risks in this capital-intensive market, it is vital to partner with market leaders in the display ecosystem," notes the analyst. As competition becomes intense, existing suppliers seek growth opportunities in newer end-user markets such as automotive, medical, aerospace, and defense to increase their revenues. The majority of end users prefer lighter and thinner FPDs that offer substantial reduction in power consumption, high definition images, and almost real-time video response. The increasing requirement for FPD is expected to help the market achieve almost double-digit growth rate by 2012, strongly backed by demand from the LCD TV segment. The rapid replacement of low-priced CRT displays with the more expensive FPDs in many applications has triggered greater availability of funding through financial institutions that are keen to have an exposure in this fast growing market. Strategic consolidations among industry participants and generation of newer applications are resulting in substantial growth for FPD markets worldwide. Table of Contents
