NanoMarkets
today announced the release of its report titled "OLED Lighting
Materials Market Forecast 2013." In this new report, NanoMarkets
analyzes the opportunities for OLED lighting materials suppliers over
the next eight years. The report estimates that the total market for
materials and technologies used in OLED lighting markets will surpass
$1.3 billion (USD) by the year 2018. Additional details about the
report are available at:

About
the Report:
Within
the report NanoMarkets also examines the product development and
marketing strategies of the major players in the OLED lighting
materials sector, including UDC, Novaled, BASF, DuPont Displays,
Merck/EMD, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and others. The report
indicates which firms are the "companies to watch" and
which will be the likely winners and losers in the OLED materials
space.
The
report also contains detailed, eight-year forecasts for the materials
used for OLED lighting applications, in both value ($ millions) and
volume (kg or area of material) terms, broken out by product type and
application.
OLED
materials covered include:
-
Emissive Layer Materials -- Emitters and Hosts
-
Electron and/or Hole Injection, Blocking, and Transport Materials
-
Electrodes – Anodes and Cathodes
-
Encapsulation Technologies, and
-
Substrates – Rigid glass, flexible glass, plastics, and metal foils
The
report also breaks out the core, functional OLED materials (emitters,
etc.) by deposition method:
-
Vapor-Deposited Small Molecules
-
Solution-Processable Small Molecules, and
-
Polymeric Materials
OLED
lighting application sectors covered are:
General
Illumination - Residential and Commercial
Specialty
OLED Lighting, and
Vehicular
OLED Lighting
From
the Report:
The
past year has brought big changes to the OLED lighting market.
Pioneering OLED lighting firms are now, finally, poised to move
beyond luxury luminaires and designer kits and into larger, general
illumination applications. As the industry moves out of its infancy,
these new general illumination applications will not only increase
the number of OLED lighting panels sold, but will also demand larger
panel sizes, thereby greatly increasing the total OLED materials
needs.
With
these trends, OLED lighting will eventually emerge as the largest
addressable market for OLED materials, eclipsing even that of OLED
displays, and materials suppliers will soon be able to point to
tangible, commercial OLED lighting products, and to growth
projections with much more confidence than in the past.
However,
the commercial momentum will only be sustained if materials suppliers
can help to close the remaining technology related to improved OLED
lighting efficiency, lifetime, and total cost of ownership, all of
which are needed to enable the fabrication of low-cost, large-area,
long-lifetime panels.
NanoMarkets
believes that the next three or four years will be critical for
manufacturing and market development in advance of real growth, which
will start to occur in about 2015 - 2016. During this period,
materials suppliers to the OLED lighting industry can carve out
competitive advantages in the following areas: materials that
simultaneously increase efficiency and provide longer lifetimes,
better encapsulation and substrate technologies that boost panel
lifetime and expand design capabilities, and high performance
solution-processable materials that enable low-cost/large-area
manufacturing.
