Samsung Display’s Auto OLED Boom: Tablet Sales Take a Hit!

In the ever-evolving landscape of display technology, Samsung Display continues to shine, particularly in the automotive sector. Despite a downturn in tablet PC panel shipments, the company’s overall OLED sales remain robust, thanks to strategic diversification and a strong foothold in various applications.

Samsung Display: A Mixed Quarter for OLED Shipments

In the third quarter, Samsung Display’s mid- to large-sized OLED shipments mirrored the previous quarter’s performance. While the demand for iPad Pro OLED panels waned, leading to a dip in tablet PC shipments, the company saw a compensatory rise in other sectors. This balance helped maintain sales levels, underscoring Samsung Display’s resilience and adaptability in a fluctuating market.

Samsung Display's Auto OLED Shipments Soar: A Bright Spot Amidst Tablet PC Panel Decline

A Mixed Quarter for OLED Shipments
In the third quarter, Samsung Display's mid- to large-sized OLED shipments mirrored the previous quarter's performance. While the demand for iPad Pro OLED panels waned, leading to a dip in tablet PC shipments, the company saw a compensatory rise in other sectors. This balance helped maintain sales levels, underscoring Samsung Display's resilience and adaptability in a fluctuating market.

The Impact of iPad Pro OLED
According to UBI Research's '4Q24 Medium & Large OLED Display Market Track,' the mass production of iPad Pro OLED panels initially boosted shipments for both Samsung Display and LG Display in the second quarter. However, the third quarter told a different story. A significant drop in iPad Pro OLED sales led to a sharp decline in tablet PC panel shipments, affecting both companies' sales figures.

A Surge in Automotive OLED
Amidst these challenges, Samsung Display's automotive OLED segment emerged as a standout performer. The company has seen a remarkable increase in shipments, with numbers climbing from 100,000 units in the first quarter to approximately 500,000 units by the third quarter. This surge highlights the growing demand for advanced display technology in the automotive industry, where OLED panels offer superior clarity and energy efficiency.

Future Prospects: 8.6G Line and Market Expansion
Looking ahead, Samsung Display is poised for further growth. The company is investing in its 8.6G production line, set to ramp up by the end of 2025. This strategic move is expected to accelerate market expansion, particularly as Apple enters the notebook and monitor markets. The anticipated growth in these sectors, alongside continued strength in automotive OLED, positions Samsung Display for a promising future.
