Global shipments for Display Driver ICs (DDICs) are projected to experience a 2% year-on-year (YoY) decline in 2025, followed by a modest recovery with 2% YoY growth in 2026, according to Omdia\u2019s latest\u00a0Display Driver IC Market Tracker.<\/p>\n
Shipments for large-area DDICs are forecast to decline by a slight 0.5% YoY. This is driven by contrasting trends in their main segments:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0LCD TV Segment: Accounting for 40% of the large-area market, DDIC demand is expected to fall by 6.6% YoY. This is largely due to the increasing adoption of more efficient dual-rate driving (DRD) and triple-rate driving (TRD) technologies, even as panel shipments see a smaller decline of 0.7% YoY.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0IT Applications: In contrast, DDIC shipments for IT applications are estimated to increase by 3% YoY.<\/p>\n
Projections for small and medium-area DDIC shipments show a more significant decrease of 5% YoY:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Smartphone Segment: Demand is expected to decline by a slight 1% YoY decline, as a 4% growth in AMOLED smartphone DDICs is offset by a 7% drop in LCD smartphone DDICs.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Smartwatch Segment: Demand is anticipated to decline sharply for LCD smartwatch DDICs, falling by 28% YoY.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Other Segments: While tablet PC and automotive panel sizes are growing, the demand for sizes 9 inches and below (categorized as small\/medium) is decreasing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2025 decline is driven by two key factors: technology and economics,\u201d said\u00a0Queenie Jiang, Senior Analyst at Omdia.<\/strong> \u201cWhile the increasing adoption of more efficient dual and triple-rate driving is reducing DDIC demand in the large-display sector, the overall consumer electronics market faces an uncertain outlook due to unstable tariff policies and challenging global economic conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking ahead to 2026, the market is expected to rebound. LCD TV panel shipments are forecast to increase by 1% YoY, while the penetration of 4K LCD panels will increase from 61% in 2025 to 66% in 2026. As a result, shipments of LCD TV DDICs will likely grow by 6% YoY, despite the continued adoption of DRD and TRD. Conversely, shipments of DDICs for IT applications, LCD smartphones, and LCD smartwatches are anticipated to decline. As a result, global DDIC shipments are projected to experience modest growth, increasing by 2% YoY in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Global shipments for Display Driver ICs (DDICs) are projected to experience a 2% year-on-year (YoY) decline in 2025, followed by a modest recovery with 2% YoY growth in 2026, according to Omdia\u2019s latest\u00a0Display Driver IC Market Tracker.
