Electronic Paper Display (EPD)
The electronic paper display (EPD) market generated approximately us $613 million in global and Chinese revenues in 2018, and we expect a compound annual growth rate of 8% in global and Chinese revenues over the next six years.Currently, the production regions of electronic paper displays (epds) globally are mainly China and Taiwan. In 2018, China had the world's largest electronic paper displays (epds) manufacturing and exporting regions, accounting for about 45% of the output of epds, while China's Taiwan EPDs ranked second. Production accounts for about 42 percent.Currently, few manufacturers in the electronic paper display (EPD) industry are capable of mass production. The top four manufacturers include E Ink, Open Explore Dream, Wuxi Vision Peak. In 2018, the top 4 accounted for 93 per cent of the world's electronic paper displays (epds) turnover, with E Ink leading the industry with about 56 per cent of the market.Currently, electronic paper displays (EPDs) are classified by size as standard (1-3 inches), medium to large (3.1-6 inches), large (6.1-10 inches), and over 10 inches.For standard (1-3 inches) and large (3.1-6 inches) is mainly used in electronic shelf label application fields, such as large and higher than 10 inches (6.1-10 inches) is mainly used in electronic readers, and other fields, standard (1-3 inches) were the main types, 2018 standard (1-3 inches) production of market share reached 43% market share.The output is 30 million tablets.Currently, electronic paper displays (epds) have relatively high technical barriers and relatively large upfront investment, so the team recommends that new entrants need to be carefully considered before entering the field.
