OLED Monitor Sales Expected to Increase Fivefold by 2030
The OLED PC monitor market is one of the fastest growing display segments, driven by a significant leap in image quality. UBI Research predicts that sales will increase four to five times by 2030.
While smartphones and TVs have been transitioning to OLED for several years, LCD technology has dominated the monitor, tablet, and notebook markets for nearly two decades.
Despite larger screens, higher resolutions, and refresh rates, the monitor market has largely stagnated over the past 10-15 years. We have been stuck with LCD monitors with low contrast ratios that cannot properly implement HDR. This has hindered the development of HDR support for operating systems, images, and photos.
Growth to 15 Million Units per Year by 2030
According to several market research firms, the transition from LCD to OLED in the monitor market began in earnest in 2023 and is expected to accelerate significantly in the coming years.
UBI Research estimates that approximately 3.2 million OLED monitors will be sold globally by 2025, a 64% increase from 2024. Sales are projected to reach 5 million units per year in 2026 and soar to 15 million units by 2030, a fivefold increase compared to 2025. (UBI Research OLED monitor sales forecast)
Panel Competition between Korea and China
Currently, LG Display produces WOLED panels, while Samsung Display produces QD-OLED, which is currently leading the monitor market. Several Chinese companies, including TCL CSOT, are currently building large-scale OLED manufacturing facilities.
Han Chang-wook, vice president of UBI Research, said, "Korean companies as well as Chinese panel manufacturers are actively entering the OLED monitor market with their own unique technologies. As applications expand to gaming, creators, and premium IT devices, the OLED monitor sector is expected to continue growing."
More Than Just Gaming Monitors
While OLED monitors have primarily targeted gamers so far, new models aimed at graphics and video editing, general media consumption, and office use, including text editing, are expected to be released by 2026.
This shift is partly driven by the transition to RGB subpixel structures in both WOLED and QD-OLED.
