Omdia Forecasts Large-Area Display Shipments to Grow 2.9% YoY in 2025 Despite Economic Uncertainty
While growth in 2025 is expected to be smaller than that of 2024, this increase comes in the face of global economic uncertainty and US tariff concerns. Notably, TV and monitor applications are projected to experience negative growth in 2025.
Chinese panel makers, who are expected to take 67.9% of total TV display shipments in 2025 are adopting a conservative approach to increasing LCD TV display shipments to manage panel prices. Similarly, panel makers outside of China are cautious about expanding their monitor display businesses due to poor finance performance.

Large-area LCD unit shipments are expected to increase by 2.4% YoY, reaching 875.5 million in 2025. Pulled-forward demand in 1Q25 has helped to boost the shipment forecast for the year. However, panel makers have little incentive to expand their monitor LCD businesses in 2025 due to financial losses, particularly among non-Chinese manufacturers.
Chinese panel makers are projected to increase monitor LCD shipments by 4.8% YoY while panel makers from other regions will decrease shipments by 12.6% YoY in 2025. Chinese panel makers are also maintaining their production-to-order policy to prevent LCD TV display price erosion starting in 2Q25.
"Interestingly, while LCD TV display unit shipments are expected to decline by 2.1% YoY, shipment area is forecast to grow by 4.9% YoY in 2025 driven by ongoing size migration trends," said Peter Su, Principal Analyst of Omdia.
Su added, "Large-area OLED unit shipments and shipment area are forecast to grow by 15.5% YoY and 10.4% YoY, respectively, in 2025. However, these figures are lower than the previous forecast (unit shipments up by 20.3% YoY and shipment area up by 12.9% YoY) from our 1Q25 report. This indicates that large-area OLED demand is slowing more than expected due to global economic uncertainty and concerns about potential impacts from the new US tariff policy."
Regional Market Share
LCD shipments: China is forecast to account for 66.7% of total large-area LCD shipments in 2025, followed by Taiwan with 21.9% and Korea with 8.0%.
Key players: BOE is expected to lead with 36.3% of total large-area LCD shipments, followed by China Star with 16.5% and Innolux with 11.6%.
OLED shipments: Korea is projected to dominate with 85.2% of total large-area OLED shipments, followed by China with 14.8%.
Key players: Samsung Display is expected to lead with 55.1%, followed by LG Display with 30.1% and EDO with 12.0%.
"Tablet PC OLED shipments are forecast to decline by 0.4% YoY in 2025 – an improvement from the previous forecast of -1.9% YoY - but still reflecting negative growth due to slower demand from Chinese PC brands and OEMs," explained Su.
"TV and monitor display shipments are expected to decline in 2025 as panel makers work to protect panel prices and avoid further losses. However, panel makers — particularly those in China — have set aggressive shipment targets for mobile PC displays, where panel makers from other regions still hold a 42.8% market share (as of 2024). This push is aimed at capturing greater market share and is expected to contribute to an overall increase in large-area display shipments during the same period," concluded Su.

A Note On Sixt SE's (ETR:SIX2) ROE and Debt To Equity
One of the best investments we can make is in our own knowledge and skill set. With that in mind, this article will work through how we can use Return On Equity (ROE) to better understand a business. By way of learning-by-doing, we'll look at ROE to gain a better understanding of Sixt SE (ETR:SIX2). Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. How Is ROE Calculated? ROE can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Sixt is: 12% = €254m ÷ €2.1b (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). The 'return' is the yearly profit. So, this means that for every €1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of €0.12. Check out our latest analysis for Sixt Does Sixt Have A Good Return On Equity? By comparing a company's ROE with its industry average, we can get a quick measure of how good it is. Importantly, this is far from a perfect measure, because companies differ significantly within the same industry classification. If you look at the image below, you can see Sixt has a similar ROE to the average in the Transportation industry classification (11%). That's neither particularly good, nor bad. While at least the ROE is not lower than the industry, its still worth checking what role the company's debt plays as high debt levels relative to equity may also make the ROE appear high. If a company takes on too much debt, it is at higher risk of defaulting on interest payments. Our risks dashboardshould have the 2 risks we have identified for Sixt. How Does Debt Impact Return On Equity? Most companies need money -- from somewhere -- to grow their profits. That cash can come from retained earnings, issuing new shares (equity), or debt. In the case of the first and second options, the ROE will reflect this use of cash, for growth. In the latter case, the debt required for growth will boost returns, but will not impact the shareholders' equity. Thus the use of debt can improve ROE, albeit along with extra risk in the case of stormy weather, metaphorically speaking. Combining Sixt's Debt And Its 12% Return On Equity Sixt does use a high amount of debt to increase returns. It has a debt to equity ratio of 1.73. While its ROE is pretty respectable, the amount of debt the company is carrying currently is not ideal. Debt increases risk and reduces options for the company in the future, so you generally want to see some good returns from using it. Summary Return on equity is one way we can compare its business quality of different companies. In our books, the highest quality companies have high return on equity, despite low debt. If two companies have the same ROE, then I would generally prefer the one with less debt. But ROE is just one piece of a bigger puzzle, since high quality businesses often trade on high multiples of earnings. The rate at which profits are likely to grow, relative to the expectations of profit growth reflected in the current price, must be considered, too. So you might want to take a peek at this data-rich interactive graph of forecasts for the company. If you would prefer check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.
