A flexible OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display is a type of display technology that incorporates organic compounds capable of emitting light upon the application of an electric current. Notably, this technology enables the flexible OLED display to bend, curve, or flex, thereby providing designers and manufacturers the flexibility to create innovative and unconventional form factors for electronic devices.
The primary types of flexible OLED displays include Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and Electronic Paper Display (EPD). A curved display is characterized by a non-flat shape, often conforming to a gentle curve. It encompasses flexible types such as curved displays and foldable displays. Curved displays find applications in various domains, including lighting, smartphones, televisions, monitors, and other electronic devices.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on display components, oled materials, and electronic manufacturing equipment have raised production costs for flexible oled displays, particularly impacting manufacturers reliant on imported substrates, thin film encapsulation materials, and semiconductor tools. Regions such as North America and Europe face higher pricing for finished display modules sourced from Asia Pacific. However, tariffs are accelerating domestic display fabrication investments, encouraging technology localization, and driving innovation in cost efficient flexible display production processes.

The flexible oled displays market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $18.19 billion in 2025 to $22.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in organic semiconductor materials, rising demand for premium smartphone displays, early development of curved display panels, increase in wearable electronics adoption, emergence of transparent display prototypes.
The flexible oled displays market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in foldable smartphone shipments, rising use of flexible displays in automotive dashboards, increasing adoption of oled lighting panels, expansion of ar and vr device applications, rising investment in next generation display manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of foldable and rollable display technologies, increasing integration of flexible oleds in wearables and smart devices, rising demand for ultra thin lightweight display panels, expansion of transparent oled applications in automotive and retail, growing shift toward low power high contrast display solutions.
An increase in smartphone adoption is expected to drive the growth of the flexible OLED displays market going forward. A smartphone is a mobile device that combines the functions of a traditional mobile phone with the capabilities of a small computer. Flexible OLED displays are used in smartphones to enable innovative designs, bendable form factors, and enhanced durability, offering a more versatile and user-friendly experience. For example, in February 2025, according to Datareportal, a UK-based digital insights organization, there were approximately 88.4 million cellular mobile connections in the United Kingdom, equal to about 127 percent of the total population. Additionally, the UK had 54.8 million social media user identities in January 2025, representing 79.0 percent of the population. Therefore, the increase in smartphone adoption is driving the growth of the flexible OLED displays market.
Leading companies in the flexible OLED display market are prioritizing the development of innovative technological products, such as flexible OLED display tablets, to enhance their market profitability. Flexible OLED display tablets utilize flexible OLED technology for their displays. For instance, Huawei Technologies Co.
