Google is also unveiling various strategies to establish a strong foothold in augmented reality, which will be beneficial for the global OLED microdisplay market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the growth of the microdisplay due to changes in consumer purchasing power. Many countries have implemented a complete shutdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, which wreaked havoc on the global economy. It also disrupted the supply chain for materials and components used in microdisplay systems. Demand for electronics also declined steeply as consumers stopped buying luxury items. The employment rate triggered by the COVID-19 affected developing countries. Thus, it hampered the growth of the OLED microdisplay market.

Regional Analysis

Globally, the Asia-Pacific OLED microdisplay market is forecast to exhibit the highest growth rate, owing to the presence of a prominent electronics industry in the region. Furthermore, the region's well-developed electronics manufacturing ecosystem and the vast urban population will contribute to the growth of the OLED microdisplay market. Further, the demand for wearable electronics is increasing in the region, which will be opportunistic for the industry players. In addition, the region is home to some of the prominent OLED microdisplay providers, such as Winstar Display Co. Ltd., Seiko Epson Corp., Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp., etc. All of these factors will drive the Asia-Pacific OLED microdisplay market forward.
